The plot: The story is about a man called Albert Last Weasel who gets trapped in his own steel trap out that he had set out to catch beers in the woods. You get to follow him and his struggle to survive. You also get to follow his grandson Jimmy Last Weasel and his family who stands for a choice to make. Should the go look for him or will he return to them?
The story takes place in the Alaskan cold. The book doesn’t mention a certain year but they have snowmobiles so it’s probably not a late century.
This book is an adventure book, it’s very eventful. In some parts there are some action as well, for example when he needs to fight of the wolves.
In the book there is one part that is really important. It’s in the middle of the book when Albert is running through his memories in the past. Then you get a better view about the Indians and their lifestyle. It makes you understand how tight the Indians are bound to the wild. They live like one with the nature.
The events in the book are more external then internal. Some are internal like when he is struggling with himself to live. He needs to stay calm and really think before his actions otherwise he might die. But the most of the events are external. There is a man, stuck in the nature with no able to contact anyone. He gets attacked by animals and needs to struggle to survive.
The characters: The main character is Albert Last Weasel. He is a man with dark long hair and a whisper of a black mustache. His beard has a hint of black and gray colors. His face is marked by deep scars and wrinkles. Albert is a calm man and with a lot of courage. He never gets hectic, he always keeps calm and focused. He seems like a very nice and kind man.
