An excellent read, both my wife and I found it to be a compelling story that we hated to see come to an end.

I really enjoyed this book. Great likeable characters. As the title might indicate, the plot twists, turns, and toward the end surprises.

I just could not get into this story. I got half way through & then stopped. It was too slow for me & the story dragged. I have read several other Irving novels and loved them so I was surprised by this one.

Once again, Mr. Irving did not disappoint. I had a little trouble getting started, not being very interested in the logging industry, but once the story got going and the characters became real, I was hooked and couldn't put it down.

A good John Irving outing - really plot-driven. If you've read any Irving before, you know what you're getting into. More like Garp than any other novel of his I've read, maybe because the hero is a writer.

Funny, though, there's no bears in this one.

Ha! Did I get you? Probably not. Of course there's bears!
