Welcome to Litsy!

The scene was Glacier National Park. The story had some interesting details about black bears and grizzlies. The characters were interesting and had lots of experiences in the Park. The park ranger, Anna Pigeon is researching and trying to track the bears. The bears are substantially smaller than Alaskan bears, yet large enough to be frightening. There is a murder to solve and mysteries enough to encourage the reader. 4-5

Finished this delightful short read , set in the v wild Wild West a tale of two forlorn lovers , a hapless young poet a “doper” attracted to the shady side of life but somehow a loveable rogue who you want to seeturn around, falls for the captain of the local towns mine new bride & so they run away with a stolen horse and lots of stolen cash ,the bounty hunters and sheriff close down on them. Would never have picked itup bookclub pick, fantastic!

I see this only received a 33% rating on Litsy. I completely understand that people may not like it but upon finishing this book I immediately fell into a deep dive into all it had/still has raised within me. A love story, an escape into the deep woods of Montana, the writing, I was hearing the cadence of long lost relatives, the story-quick & to the point-has all the makings of a Western but it's completely Irish. Tom and Polly. The 10,000 (cont)

Not my fave to be honest. The characters weren‘t that well developed, and there were a lot of characters. Learning about the mountain lions was interesting, but a lot of the story was hard yo follow or hard to understand the connection or importance. I get that it‘s a mystery & you‘re not led to it from page one, there are curves in the road…but this was a bit too jumbled for me to want to read more from the author.

This is my second attempt with Barry and I have to conclude that he‘s not for me. I read 30 pages and it‘s choppy and nonsensical and I have no desire to continue.

It might be a “it‘s not you it‘s me” thing but I didn‘t really like this one. Based on the premise, I thought I was getting a western with doomed lovers set in the Montana winter 1891. What I got technically followed the description but I never really felt like I was reading any of those things. Lovely lyrical writing but surface level with no sense of place. I never truly felt like I understood the characters & they could have been anywhere. ⬇️

I liked this but found parts of it over the top. I liked the descriptions of the wilderness & the methods Alex used to study wolverines. I didn't like the absolutely bananapants criminal activity that she stumbled across, spoilers below, a& I found Alexis annoyingly preachy. Even when I agree with the message, which I do in this case-

Hard to put down once the love story kicks in.
