So now knowing that this was published previously, did this change your overall opinion of the book?

I read and reviewed this one, too. Many of my thoughts echoed yours, and I thought the pacing was great. It actually kept me involved throughout, and my attention span has been really nonexistent lately.

Oh how interesting that it’s a re-print. I don’t really like when they do that without specifically notifying you, especially if it’s one you’re reviewing for a publisher. I really loved Art of Racing, so we’ll see about this one!

I just can’t make up my mind about this one. While I really liked The Art of Racing in the Rain, I didn’t love it. And since the people that loved it aren’t liking this one as much, I have mixed feelings.

I’m on the fence about this one. I didn’t read “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” but this premise interests me more, but honestly I haven’t seen any really great reviews, so I’m thinking maybe no.

Caite, if you have any interest at all in Alaska I think you’ll enjoy this book. You should give it a try.

Ti, I chalked up most of the out of character things to grief over Bobby. People can do crazy things under that kind of stress.

Kathy, I think you would like it. You enjoyed Ravens and Ted Dekker, right. I would put this novel in a similar category – but not nearly as graphic as The Boneman’s Daughters. Not paying attention to the copyright was not my friend with this book. I’m going to make it a rule to always at least scan that information before I read every book.

The reviews on this one have been so mixed, I can’t decide if I want to read it or not. I have to admit that I generally don’t pay that much attention to copyright info either.

As you said, the first half was so strong but the rest of it seemed a bit disjointed. I didn’t like Robert at all but a lot of what he did seemed out of character for him.

I wasn’t aware that this was a re-print either until I got to the end of the book and saw the note. It certainly explained a lot.

Whew! It’s over!

I did not read his other book, so I have no expectations about this one. I must say the Alaskan setting is what really interests me since I was in Alaska for three weeks last year and have a sense of the area. But is that enough to enjoy a book?
