I was engrossed in the book until the end! I had no trouble following the story line or character changes. This is a story you can imagine happening! And, like life, not all stories have happy endings! This one, however, ended in a more…

Some chapters were written in italics. Whenever I thought I knew why that was so, I was proven wrong. I finished the whole book and still have no idea why some were written that way. I see other reviewers had similar problems, so we must…
I am an avid reader of all sorts of genre, although suspense is not usually something I read. I have to say this book is EXCELLENT! I could not put it down and was reading til 2 a.m. The writing was not Nobel prizeworthy but very very…

This read took my attention at the beginning with the situation & certainly a well known location. The manner in which the author wrote conversations confused me as to who was speaking, finally I had to ignore that aspect, skim forward &…

Hmmm. I’m trying to understand the attraction to this story and author as so many have mentioned. It’s not that it was a bad book; it just didn’t have any great suspense or out of the ordinary experience.
Like others, I also had to…

Read this book. It had me reading deep into the night to find out how it ended. The next morning, I had to recap it to my friend and loan it out to another friend. This is a book that was lent to me and I am determined to lend it out…

Although a little hard to follow at the beginning because of multiple timelines, I made myself slow down and enjoy the wonderful writing of Mr. Johnston.

When I first read the jacket description I wondered if I should even be reading this book, but it was a good and interesting book and so I kept on until the end. But I really wish I would have left this one alone. Left me feeling too sad.

DESCENT has been referred to as a "literary thriller", & I couldn't agree more. The author's prose & description of place (the Rocky Mountains) are spot on. Characters are multi-dimensional. Much of this novel is devoted to the impact of…

Set aside some time before you open the cover to read - you won't want to stop this rollercoaster of a thriller. It kept me up way late too. Not for the faint of heart, it does get quite dark and violent at times, but such an adrenaline…
This is an excellent book and well written...the writing reminded me of Kent Haruf. It is totally believable and hard to put down...kept me up way too late!
