What a great book, adventure, family in denial about a much beloved son, and then the other stories, about the Forestry service in the early years.

I am so thankful that I read this before I saw the movie. It takes longer to watch than to read, yet there is so much more conveyed in the "book". A River Runs Through it is the best of these stories, but I also liked the others. I finished it and went straight back to page 1 and did it again.

This was good, definitely would read it again

I’m not sure what to say about this book. I started it with great gusto and finished with a whimper. The first part of the book is all about his family and the relationship he had with his brother Paul. It was filled with so much regret that by the end of the first novella I was almost in tears. I know that his brother died in Chicago but he’s writing as if it happened in Montana. I kind of think he knows that if he stayed in Montana then Paul would have done different? But I do know that at the end the “Haunted by Waters” quote, well I think that’s Paul he’s referring to.
