This is definitely a man's book. If you like to fly fish, you'll enjoy this story. The word pictures of the Wind River are wonderful & you can almost put yourself out in the mountains & feel the mountain air & smell the pine trees. This book has a powerful message towards the end that every man should think strongly about as it applies to his own marriage. All in all, I enjoyed the story very much as I grew up in a fishing family & it brought back lots of good memories for me.
