It's hard to review this without giving away the end. Obviously, it's about the Donner party, so you know it isn't going to be rainbows and sunshine. Still, I found this to be a very unsatisfying read. The last third of the book feels rushed and unpolished. There are so many instances where characters do things that make no sense at all, or have some critical bit of information which they keep to themselves without an explanation as to WHY they wouldn't speak up. And when it's all said and done, there just isn't not much of a payoff for the reader. I was excited to read this one, but in the end, very disappointed.
