The Loop
3 journalers for this copy...
I love this book. It's set in Montana and is a "Roman a Clef" (pardon my spelling). While all the details about Montana aren't correct, finding the mistakes were fun. If you aren't familiar with Montana, you'll still enjoy the book. The evolving/revolving relationship between the father and son kept my attention.
This looks very good.
I love books with lots of natural history and a sense of place -- plus, the Calder family reminded me of the Carringtons in Dynasty during a quick flip-through of the first 50 pages.
I'll be trying the 50-State Challenge again and may just have to start in the northwest this time so I can read The Loop sooner!

Started this Jan. 3 and have been looking up books and articles about wolves ever since! Very compelling.
Some of Evans's characterization was a bit "off": a woman in her early 20's with breast cancer? that bizarre crimson curtain incident? But he really got JJ Lovelace down. I was fascinated with how the old codger changed as he grew to know Buck Junior and Kathy.
I absolutely loved the wedding scenes -- first Helen's dad in balmy Barbadoes, then the everyone-on-horseback extravaganza!
Open-ended enough that I've been thinking about it ever since I finished early this morning. Thanks sooo much for sending it with the Christmas package in '07. Now going to release it for The Reader challenge.

I was walking down the Dan River Trail when I saw a book just sitting behind a Biscuitville. I wasn't sure if it belonged to anyone. I kept walking. When I returned, no one was to be found. I picked up the book and carried it home with me!
