Recommended via a blog for great dialogue - Goodreads likes too. I just couldn't get into the story.

I hesitate to leave a review because I cannot do justice to this book. This book has at least tied, if not beaten, "To Kill A Mockingbird" as my all time favorite. I want the chapter about heaven read at my funeral. I describe reading this book like eating really good chocolate cake - rich, with layers of deep flavor.

This is a wonderful and rich story of brothers, fathers, magical belief and loyalty. The audio is worth your time, the voice of the little sister will stick with you. I read and/or listen to this book every few years because I miss these characters.

The Characters are interesting and well developed. The story is engaging and beautifully written. The style gave me an “old time feel” like it was written a few decades ago not recently. The writing has the feel and rhythm of a Large Montana ranch with expansive blue, blue skies.

This has become my alltime favorite book I strongly recommend it to anyone who likes a good story telling. The author has done an excellent job of making you feel you are there and can feel what is happening. I totally love this story.

This is a beautiful story written with a vocabulary that made you look up every word for the pure pleasure of seeing how the author was using it. I recommend it to everyone.
