Brian's Winter

Brian's Winter, like most survival in the woods stories, is a string of lucky accidents that cause a kid to survive who would have been dead within days.  The whole thing would have been a lot more complicated, for example, had he not had that extremely accurate shot on that moose.  The prose, on the other hand, is excellent, and seems quite close to human thought without being hard to read.  Unfortunately, it doesn't really make up for the fact that he gets by mostly on luck.
