Of Moose and Men : A Skewed Look at Life in Alaska von A. E Poynor
Pretty good book--humorously describes life in Alaska. Would make a good sitcom with a fat guy in the lead role. Humorous, but got boring after awhile, because all the stories seemed the same...so I put it down. Fun read before or during your trip to Alaska.
I will start by saying I received this book as a Goodreads' First Reads winner.
Overall, I found this book to be an enjoyable read. The story held my interest and I looked forward to finding out what would happen next.
The story is about a recovering alcoholic named John Barstow and it begins with him losing his job and girlfriend all at the same time. With dim prospects for the future, John is not in a good place. A letter from a law firm in Alaska begins a new episode in John's life and that is what the story focuses on.
The author used a good mix of characters who felt realistic and three dimensional. I did feel some of the dialog fell a bit flat, and while I enjoy goofy/crude/juvenile humor, I will admit that the multiple references to puking incidents throughout the story were not my favorite. The story is set in Alaska which was wonderfully described throughout the book and made imagining the area (which I have never been to) quite easy to do. The ending was good if pretty much what I expected it to be.
I recommend this book and look forward to reading other works by this author!… (mehr)
