A Goodreads user asked this question about The Stranger in the Woods: The Extraordinary Story of the Last True Hermit:
Haven't read this but not likely to. The mere fact that he stole from people that worked hard for what they had...the fact that for 27 years this community in Maine lived in fear because of these unsolved burglaries that he committed is beyond shameful.
