Helpful Score: 2
Great account of human relations, frailties, and family ties that connect us.
Turned out to be a surprisingly good book. Nice writing style. Good portrayal of life in rural Wyoming.
The type story that stay's with you.
I loved this book. I thought it was a great story with some real life tragedy that was believable and moving. It was an easy book to read and I'm hoping for more from the author.
I really enjoyed this book. Very fast read.
Excellent book! Very unforgettable characters.
very moving and touching....recently made into a movie
I loved this book. It was beautifully written and reminded me of books by Kent Haruf and Wallace Stegner. Great storyline and character development. Highly recommend! S compelling tale of the new West, and coming of age, out of heartache and abuse.
Beautifully written, highly satisfying novel.
Saw the movie and read the book. Both are good. A moving tale of the relationship between two long time friends.
Absolutely awesome character development in a crisp, short read. Great book!
I didn't care for the way it was written -- in present tense -- so stopped reading it. I like books that related a story that has already happened.
I wasn't really crazy about this book. It was predictable and I didn't like the way it was written.
VERY good book, in less then a day I had completely devoured this excellent scripted novel. The author has a way of describing things with such detail and craft that one can visualize being there.
Will be reading more from this author. This wasn't a purely "feel good" book, nor is it light reading. But I connected with the characters, and it has hope, that most important of emotions.
Good story, somewhat depressing
This is a book club hard cover. I enjoyed it. It is a different kind of story. Tells about love, heartache, family, coming home, and forgiveness.
