West With Giraffes by Lynda Rutledge

3.0

3.5 stars - Sweet coming of age adventure story through the memory of a 105 year old man at the end of his life. I wanted to feel more from this story… wanted something more tangible and stirring. I loved the connection Woody had to the animals. I'm being picky, but the style of writing grated on me at points. It is written in letter format in Woody's voice, which is fine, but the overuse of some words like abide got on my nerves.
