The characters were intriguing.Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I really enjoyed reading Halfway to Schist. The plot was compelling and it was very well written. It was a very good introduction to this author for me. I’ll definitely be reading more from them and I’ve reread this book a ton already. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I really enjoyed the artist rendering of this cover! The story appealed to me as a coming of age and being available to change for these characters. The story is set in the 50's and I loved the thought of this small family unit trying to rebuild a lodge for people to vacation in Maine, different from the hoity toity people staying in the country club hotel across the lake. We vacation a lot in Maine so reading about the land and waters was wonderful and perfectly described . Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. Bridgford wrote an ecologically evocative story from a geological perspective, although the chapter openings were very cursory without adding any relevant detail to his story. The premise for the 'coming-of-age' theme was intriguing but the execution was tediously slow and the characterizations came across as very superficial. There was such great potential in the various people in the story which was never realized. Readers who want an insightful look at harebrained schemes in the backwoods of the Canadian shield country will likely enjoy the story even though the main protagonists never caught my interest. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Jane Red Rogers is the daughter of two geologists, so her childhood has been overshadowed by all things having to do with the rock cycle, plate tectonics, and glaciation. When her mother commits suicide, Red and her father embark on an adventure to restore an old family fishing lodge on an island in the Georgian Bay area of Canada. Along the way, Red must navigate around the submerged hazards resulting from the friendship with a local boy and an Anishinaabe man and his grandson all the while trying to fit in with the rich teen aged crowd at the local hotel. With each misadventure Red encounters, her mother's journal continues to teach her how the lessons of geology and glaciation are as applicable to human beings as they are to her beloved rocks and ice.
