This review is from: Angle Of Repose (Paperback)

I just keep coming back to this book. It's lovely. I love the depiction of the west and the view of the world from the narrator's eyes. I just can't recommend it enough.

This review is from: Angle Of Repose (Paperback)

I really wanted to love this book that my bookstore guru gave 5 stars. I don't think I'll ever NOT like a book I've chosen to read. Afterwards I still have that curious feeling that these characters are my friends and teachers and now I have to bid a sad farewell. But I didn't really LOVE these characters, but deeply had a respect for them...well except Augusta who annoyed me because I don't warm up to Eastern Society-types. Susan made me more understanding though. I got over my initial and recurring problem that I had personally with this book. I kept wanting it to be Michener's Centennial. I wanted MORE adventure and history at the locations Susan and Oliver dwelt in, but this was Stengner NOT Michener...and this has a wealth of great descriptive prose and simile that rivaled anything I'd read. So once I disciplined myself, the book seeped into me. It wasn't tedious, but steady. It read fast only a few times for me, mostly it was something to savor and liken to oneself. This revealed the treasure it contains thematically. I liked the 4-generations compared between the lines too. Usually disruptions in the flow of a novel's base story irritate me a bit, but this had an even inspiring effect. In my GREAT imagination, I found myself "writing" my own 4-generation story as I read. My Grandparents' role in shaping the west that was something not very Victorian in morality emerged, I confess... and we're continuing the saga some of us! This book will stir you to thinking long and seriously if you let it in. For that I ought to give it another star.
