blackmetalblackheart's review against another edition
3.0
Lumberjack is like a remix of reality, taking historical people and places and setting them in the midst of a fictional tale. It is cool to see that interplay on the page. It is also interesting to watch the main character as he continues to descend more and more into a world of his own paranoia and delusion. Engebretson does a good job of capturing the imagination, combining weird imagery and moments of gore to highlight Neville's story. In the end, I felt like the novella danced around some bigger themes, but ultimately missed the mark, almost as if they were half thought out ideas. It is a misstep that hurts the story overall, but there is still a lot of fun to be had. If you are not a fan of animal deaths, then there may be significant less fun for you while reading. Be sure to keep that in mind.
