Thanks for your insight. I have put it on my list to read. I should not have commented on this book without reading it first. I appreciate your response.
" I cried at the end, reading in my car outside a bagel shop here in Baltimore." That sounds like the beginning of a Springsteen song!
Definitely an awful lot about Chris Knight that really makes one think and reevaluate one's way of living. Much to make one cry about in this book also. He would not have stolen if he had tried to do this in another setting or location. It was the only way he could survive - not excusing it; it was wrong no matter how you look at it. But there's aspects of Knight that are deeply humane in ways that we, living in another world, are greatly lacking.
