Al Voth's second book is a huge improvement over his first effort. The characters, including the hero, Nathan Burdett, are more developed, and the story line is more believable. There are several plot twists that keep the novel interesting, and compelling. The book is very hard to put down. As a side note, all technical details relating to firearms and hunting are technically correct. There is nothing that stops the flow of a story more than reading Hollywood style lies about firearms or inaccurate technical data related to firearms. This book contains nothing to stop the action. Five Stars.

The cast is excellent, the kids are adorable, the script is really well written. My only regret is that the hilariously edgy comedian Sarah Silverman was given such a limited role as the shrewish girlfriend. But aside from that, I highly recommend this film!

This movie deserved more credit then it recieved. The acting was top notch and the story was well written and directed, though sometimes simple. William H. Macy at his best.

It stays away from formulistic happy ending that can be predicted in the… Read more
