This book wins points for intriguing me all of the way through. I kept turning the pages wanting to know what was going to happen. However, I feel like I needed more holes filled in for me to believe everything that came to pass in the story. Also, I'm still left wondering about the significance of certain events.

This book will be up your alley if you love unreliable, unlikable narrators, though, I couldn't stand the collective term this MC constantly used to refer to his wife and child, despite it likely just being part of his character.

Also, I can't stand when books spoil other books, movies, etc., and this has a spoiler for Where The Red Fern  Grows, a book I've wanted to read for years now!
