A review by alissabar
Mink River by Brian Doyle

I picked up this book after visiting the Oregon coast. I fell in love with that area and wanted to revisit it in book format because that's almost like being there, right? There were times when the words Brian Doyle weaved together were so beautiful, and other times when his writing drove me a little crazy (lack of punctuation during conversations and even in sentences. Commas and periods are our friends. Especially if you don't want your readers lost or trying to decipher sections of text for long periods of time instead of continuing on with the story.) After giving it 60-70 pages, I've called it quits. I suspect if I had slogged on, I would have found a gem, but I couldn't muster up enough desire to continue. This one comes with a language warning as well.
