Once I got two-thirds of the way in, I found it hard to put the book down. At the beginning, however, I was slowed down by the descriptive language. In several instances, the word choice and descriptions wowed me, but I felt like everything was given the same amount of detail, which made it difficult for me to focus on what's important. For example, every person gets at least a one paragraph description--I can picture them vividly when they are described, but then there is so much other distracting detail that I couldn't even tell you anything about what the protagonist looks like. Overall, the story and characters were interesting. I'd definitely recommend the book but probably wouldn't read it a second time. ( ) Good book. Quick read...couldn't put it down. A lot happens in the short time the novel takes place but the author makes it believable. Gives a very vivid picture of what the state of Oregon looks like. A lot of detail about hunting which I could have done without but it was central to the novel so I dealt with it. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"Echo Canyon, a disappearing pocket of wilderness outside Bend, Oregon, is the site of conflicting memories for Justin Caves and his father, Paul. It's slated for redevelopment as a golfing resort. When Paul suggests one last hunting trip, Justin accepts, hoping to set things right with his father, and he agrees to bring his son along, too. As the weekend unfolds, Justin is pushed to the limit by the reckless taunting of his father, the physical demands of the terrain, and the menacing evidence of a bear's hovering presence. All the while, he remembers the promise he made to his skeptical wife: to keep their son safe. For Justin, these few days will map the changing territory of his heart as he discovers how far he will go to protect those he loves" --Jkt. cover. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
