Book Review of In the Lake of the Woods

In the Lake of the Woods
reviewed on + 32 more book reviews


Like The Things They Carried, In the Lake of the Woods is an unforgettable reminder of high cost of war. The book asks the reader to question whether it is possible to ever again become "good" after being involved, even peripherally, in the commission of an immoral act. This heartbreaking, suspenseful, powerful book is particularly relevant to the situation in the world today.
