Walden (AmazonClassics Edition) Customer Reviews

:

• 4.0 out of 5 stars from Amazon Customer -- Really three books : This book has three distinct themes to it. One is Henry David Thoreau's love of nature and his view of it as a balm to the soul. The second is that he seems to think that those who work the land hard are fools wasting their time, that they should do only what it takes to survive off the land. And the third is his attitude towards government and democracy and his opinions regarding disobedience of authority. ( Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2019 )
• 1.0 out of 5 stars from Julia McKernan -- Not a good read for Christians in my opinion : I was excited to read based on others opinions but just couldn't read it. Book defines Mary and Jesus as a fable basically. Waste of money for the Christian. ( Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2018 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Anna M. -- A brilliant classic by a brilliant man. : One of my favorite books by Henry David Thoreau. The illustrations add to it nicely and the cover and binding seem well made. This book is excellent for anyone who loves the idea of escaping from society and finding yourself. It serves as a reminder that as modern society advances, we become almost less human, going about the motions rather than living and experiencing all that life and nature has to offer. Great book for any avid nature lover. ( Reviewed in the United States on March 19, 2017 )
• 1.0 out of 5 stars from PsychoSchematics ✅ -- My review is of the PHYSICAL book, not the "story". THIS PAPERBACK IS DIFFICULT PRINT TO READ : The size and number of lines of print, the quality of the printed ink, and the quality of the paper all we as low quality as I have ever held. Clearly they crammed as much text per page to save on paper. I read several books a day, almost every day, and this one I have to use a book mark to track from one line to the next. Now granted, the price matched, so it's my fault. Still, simply structurally the print was extremely small and way to many lines, AND I ALMOST FORGOT, the margins are so small I had to BEND the book to read the words close to the binding.

• 4.0 out of 5 stars from Eric -- A challenging but rewarding read! : "To read well, that is, to read true books in a true spirit, is a noble exercise, and one that will task the reader more than any exercise which the customs of the day esteem." Just one of my many of my favorite quotes from this book! Thoreau has to be one of the most complex and most insightful authors I have ever read. It took me a few months to finish, due to on and off reading and also trying to soak in the book as much as I could while reading it. Compared to most of us in today's rat race, Thoreau seemed, even back then, to have a great dislike for the hustle and bustle his townfolk were enveloped in, and sought refuge in a cabin of his construction near Walden Pond for about 2 years. He eagerly describes his surroundings and observations, from a seemingly epic battle between ants, to the different hues of colors he observes in Walden Pond throughout the seasons.

• 1.0 out of 5 stars from Ronnie GonzalezTop Contributor: Chess -- Wrong Audio Sample, Wrong Narrator : In a nutshell, the audio sample of the audiobook version of this book has a different person reading than who's listed as the reader, Adam Morgan.

• 5.0 out of 5 stars from Jeff Titelius -- it was nonetheless among the best, how could it not be when it comes ... : Undoubtedly one of the most challenging of books I have read, it was nonetheless among the best, how could it not be when it comes to Thoreau. Stumbled upon of his quotes today and found it uncanny to say the least, "Whatever sentence will bear to be read twice, we may be sure was thought twice." And that couldn't be more true when it comes to Walden as I found myself having to reread many a paragraph to understand his complex sentences that seem to extend beyond half the page. Now layer in the fact that the book was originally published in 1854, and you have the recipe for a most demanding read that will delight, enlighten and inspire any reader who dares to take on the challenge!

• 2.0 out of 5 stars from Nadia -- Font size for ants and an odd layout : I'm sorry but this book is impossible to read. The font size is so tiny one gets strained eyes after a bit. Text comes in 3 columns per page for some reason which adds to the "pleasure". The pages are not even numbered. No thanks ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 5, 2018 )
• 1.0 out of 5 stars from Rives -- Barely legible : If you don’t mind suffering from eyestrain then this paperback is for you. I was so looking forward to a few hours of leisurely reading about Thoreau’s Walden pond experience and was very excited when the book arrived. The disappointment was great when I looked at the first few pages. Why would you publish a book that would require the average reader to resort to magnifying glasses in order to read it? For instance, the letter “t” measures just barely over 1 millimeter – not even close to 2 millimeters. For comparison I photographed pages from two other books with standard print; one is a page from a book by Jeffrey Archer and the other a page from Prentice Mulford’s “Thoughts are Things.” The tiny print of “Walden” doesn’t appear to be all that small in the photos, but they were taken with the camera’s Macro setting, otherwise you wouldn’t have been able to see/read it at all. Unless you have eyes like a hawk forget this edition. Very disappointing. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 27, 2019 )
• 1.0 out of 5 stars from Mr Sefton -- Rubbish format, unusable. POOR. : Can't tell you about the contents or author sorry. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 13, 2019 )
• 5.0 out of 5 stars from S P Mead -- a timeless classic : Thoreau's 'Walden' is a beautifully written piece of American literature - describing the life and experiences of the author as he embarks on a year-long adventure: living a more simple, at-one-with-nature existence. Thoreau retreated from 'civilisation' and headed off to a remote woodland area, where he lived in a small cabin. It's here that he enjoys life at its fullest - without worrying about such things as money and bills, or keeping-up appearances. Thoreau lived by his own means - from fishing to picking fruit - and felt a new sense of freedom. He encourages other to pursue such an emancipated lifestyle - and presents this as a 'self-help' book. ( Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 10, 2016 )
• 4.0 out of 5 stars from Chaitanya Sethi -- A classic ode to simplicity : For 2 years (1845-1847), Thoreau conducted a self-experiment. He built himself a cabin in the woods near Walden Pond, a simple shanty with the bare necessities. He arranged for his own food by growing crops. He cut down on 'civilization' and let it come to him instead. He sat and pondered about life, he wandered and observed nature. He read books, thought deeper, and aimed to discover the 'truth'. 7 years later, in 1854, he published his contemplation via Walden. ( Reviewed in India on August 19, 2020 )
