Live in northern British Columbia and love the wildlife, rural life, crackling fire in the fireplace in winter, book in hand. One short story to my credit, working on a possible book. In the meantime, I review books as a creative outlet and hobby.
I have a blog of book reviews called R&B: Read and Blog

Stunt Road, satirical, entertaining, provocative

I've never read a book quite like Stunt Road. It is fascinating, depressing, joyful, cynical, provocative and even deadly, all at one go. Quite an undertaking for a first novel. The range of characters really breathes life into the story. Without the strong characterizations, this would be a different book. The ending brings to mind Robert Frost's poem "The Road Not Taken". I am left to wonder, which road did Peter take when he came to the crossroad at the end of the book?
