A tale of a young man entranced by figures of transcendentalism who embarks on a lonesome, nomadic adventure and ends up dead in the Alaskan Bush.

Jon Krakauer's narration completes the piece, chalk full of thorough research and insightful analysis. A nonfiction masterpiece!

There's a reason this topped the Indie Bestseller's list and a reason I now list it as one of the best books I've read. I would have believed anything who told me that this was a true story because of eloquent way Bennett crafted and wrote Desiree, Stella, Jude, and Kennedy. Two separate worlds that have more in common than they care to admit, and what happens when someone crossed from one into the other without looking back.

All of Wendy Mass' books are extraordinary, but this one is something else. Unassuming with its goofy cover and candy theme, The Candymakers pleasantly surprised me with winding plot and thirst-quenching mystery. One timeline with four perspectives told one at a time. With each new POV, there is explanation... yet the mystery seems only to thicken...
