Good read. Chris was to me a lonely person that not many understood maybe until his death shed light to his struggles fitting into a "normal" society. Assumptions to why Chris,aka Alex, did things one way or another baffled some but I think Jon did a very good job pointing out theories to those that seem to me to be more plausible than others have tried to prove. Off to try and find the movie now.

First thought, do you know there is a difference between the terms "lonely" and "loner"?Some people enjoy life more by themselves, rather than being crowded by others.
Absolutely there is a difference. I think he was misunderstood by his family and didn't agree with the materialistic things in life therefore leaving him lonely, or misunderstood, as on an island of life by himself. Not convinced he was a loner as he was quite social when around other people although it did take him a bit to warm up.
LOVE it. I used to live in Alaska and almost took a trip to "the bus".
I think a visit to the bus would be awesome, eerie, but worth it. I enjoyed the book.
