SuZQ, as I said, I may have gotten it all wrong. I only know that he left such a bad taste in my mouth that I very much doubt I will re-read the book to find out. Must have been something personal.
Again, I do believe he had every clue that he had screwed up bigtime; I wouldn't suggest otherwise. I just...didn't like him.
Sometimes books just take me that way. I loved Krakauer's Into Thin Air but Into the Wild left me with such an "I don't like this and I'm not sure why" feeling that I don't care if I never read another Krakauer book. Strange, huh?
(Later) I just did some searching for on-line reviews and comments, and they seem to be fairly evenly divided between my outlook and yours. Fair enough.
