This was not a particularly plot-heavy book, but for those who can appreciate vast, beautiful wilderness, this may be a good read for you.
I had been a little nervous when I started this book because I thought it might be too religious in its undertones, but that didn't end up being the case.

While I appreciated a different writing style than what I normally read, ultimately this book wasn't for me.

A book that focuses to the details in order to reveal the expanse of life and existence. Groff writes like a poet, but has enough self restraint not to get too bogged down in language.
