I’ve been meaning to read this book for a while. When I saw they had made it into a movie
coming out this spring, I decided to move it to the top of my list. I think it could be a good movie, but felt it
was just an OK book. I thought the
author did a very good job with the nature and animal aspects of the book – the
writing flowed with great descriptions during those parts. When it came to the people’s actions and
descriptions, it felt choppy – it made it difficult to bond or relate with any
of the characters. Truly, at times I
thought maybe the book was co-written because the styles seemed so different
depending on the subject matter being discussed.
