I struggled with giving this book more than a couple of stars. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either.

On the positive side, it's definitely different from any other book I've ever read. It also contained a lot of information about animals that was interesting to me. However, I'm not much of an outdoorsy type of person, so I couldn't relate to the main character's love of being in the wild all alone. So maybe because of that, I felt a bit detached from the story.

My biggest complaint was how unbelievable the story was. It felt like I was reading about a female MacGyver. No matter what issues came up, the main character could handle it. She could shoot guns, fix her own vehicle, fight off a mountain lion, etc. It almost made me laugh out loud when she could even fly a plane. But what couldn't she do? Stand up to her college ex-boyfriend who treated her horribly bad. When he showed up out of the blue, I almost threw the book at the wall. She's supposedly the tough I-can-do-it-all type of person (think Wonder Woman), but she couldn't seem to break free of a relationship that had gone south already.

I don't know how I ended up finishing this one. I think I just wanted to see how bad it would get. If I find myself with nothing new to read one day, maybe I will venture out to read the next book in the series but I am not going to go out of my way to hunt down the next book, nor will I spend much money on it.
