Very interesting story set in 1890's United States and, primarily,in Canada, as it follows the main character, Ernie Lundy, on his sociopathic life's path. I found the story kept my interest, waiting to see what direction Ernie Lundy would take next. While I think the author did a great job in "showing not telling", I would liked to have seen a little more of the "telling" of Ernie Lundy's inner, personal struggle. Again, a very good book that I would definitely recommend as an enjoyable read.
