I really hated this book.
I was passed a copy by someone who said it was interesting.
I found it anything but.
It was written as an imaginary letter to an imaginary son. However this is part of its problem. The letter rambles and raves monotonously, frequently repeating the same ideas in different ways, instead of truly trying to intelligently examine all the problems and issues that may be of concern to someone considering emigration.
It claims that the events that happen to the imaginary Guy, his wife and their imaginary son are based on real events, but how close they are to reality is anyone’s guess.
I don’t think Walden is racist. But he does react to the way he feels the world is, rather than by how the world actually is. He is quite rude to those who stop and think, and through doing that, see things differently.
