The Indifferent Stars Above: The Harrowing Saga of the Donner Party by Daniel James Brown

2.0

i really wanted to like this but i was just underwhelmed. the writing of this just didn’t engage me, although there were some good moments. i started reading on my kindle but i wasn’t connecting with the writing, switching to the audiobook didn’t help much. i understand there were many people involved in the donner party but i often felt lost in a sea of names reading this. because i wasn’t engaged i didn’t absorb much from this :/
