Helpful Score: 1

This book was very well written. I almost always read fiction, but the Donner Party interests me, and this reads closer to a novel than typical non-fiction. That being said, this book was extremely difficult to get through. It is not for the weak at heart or stomach. It is so well written that I felt hopeless and unhappy when I read it, because Rarick describes things so vividly, he makes you feel like you're there. I recommend this book highly, but be prepared to feel desperate, especially knowing people really had to go through this devastating ordeal.
