librarymouse's review against another edition

adventurous funny informative mysterious reflective medium-paced

4.5

This account of the life of Christopher Knight is an engaging and well-told story about a very interesting man. The questions raised on solitude, it's benefits and detriments, and related prompts towards self reflection make this book more than what it initially appears to be, in terms of it's impact on the reader 

This book is written in a very consumable manner. I read it in one go.
