an extremely interesting and insightful novel revolving around the White Mtns. it was nice to be able to learn about different stories that occurred in different towns close to where i grew up and being able to place exactly where it was these events happened!

Interesting local stories, could have been cut by 100 pages easily. The publisher/editor allowed the author a lot of freedom to meander.

This is one of my favorite books. I really enjoyed learning about the people who so many places in the White Mountains are named after.

Not very well written. Often boring. Should have been severely edited.
