Not up to his normal quality

Revisado: 01-28-25

Felt like an essay inflated into a book. Im a fan of mr winchester. This one felt like it was written for the $. Short and without the charm ive seen in his body of work.

Worth a listen as a good primer

Nothing to dislike. Dont expect controversy despite the title. If you are looking for something comprehensive paul prezston is a better choice.

Worth the read for the authors brilliant descriptions pathos and ability to integrate nature into human tragedy.

Plot is burdened by a stereotypical recitation of southern court scenes. The murder case is just difficult to read. So full of holes. But read this for the marsh for an awe inspiring discovery of the natural world through the charmed and charming eyes of a young girl.

Historical perspective

Revisado: 11-08-22

This timely book lays out the stakes involved in Lincoln’s war and the charater of a man who more than any other defined the nation. It is not a new history but it is a needed history. I learned in school fifty years ago that the civil war was fought over state’s rights. I learned that slavery was an institution regrettable but on its way to extinction. Bull. The southern vision was an expansive slave empire with an eye on central america and mexico. Lincoln is presented in full not sparing those quotes that are racist and difficult to read nor does it ignore his devotion to a moral conviction that slavery was wrong. And finally tempted by offers of peace if only he would betray the antislavery cause, he did not waver. Amid thr countless histories of Lincoln this stands out for its moral examination of a man who paid for his convictions with his life.

Headline is deceptive

Revisado: 02-03-20

Well researched procedural which puts a great emphasis on the ingenuity of the killer and the incompetence of his pursuers. The part that feels missing is the monstrous nature of his sick crimes. It is not ingenious so much as monstrous to kill people at random. In fact he was caught using the atm of a victim... not exactly meticulous. The writing is good and apart from the attempt to stretch the story to match a misguided premise it was a good read.

Best naturalist writer of ou generation

Revisado: 12-05-18

Drawing on his profound knowledge of the history of the northwest Egan writes of the country through the eyes of a lover. Spectacular descriptions, edgy history alive with the personalities who built and destroyed and are redefing the northwest. Best book I've read this year!

Don't eat that burger!

Revisado: 08-15-18

A spectacular rolling account peppered with brilliant story and ascerbic observation. Egan knows the West in all its natural beauty and corrupt politics. It is a primer in what went wrong, and what continues to be a failed vision of the West.

Brilliant.
