Could not finish this book, only got halfway through it and it is very unusual for me to not finish a book! It jumped around, and could not keep my interest like Cold Mountain did.

This book is filled with great description of images of an America long gone. It paints a beautiful picture but I really feel that Frazier fails to make the main character very appealing. It was written from the viewpoint of the main character so maybe the author was just trying to reflect his self assurance but I feel that it made him un-likeable half of the time. Started it last summer and still haven't finished it...just working my way through between books.

Although Frazier doesn't use a lot of dialogue, he is a master at description. Even though it's fiction, the story reminded me of a memoir.
