A review by cdcsmith
Snow Mountain Passage by James D. Houston

3.0

This book is told in two different ways. There are the journal entries giving it a feel of nonfiction and then the rest of the story being told be the writer. I raced through the first half of the book and the journal entries were compelling. The second half of the book (or rather part 2 since I think it isn't actually half way), I found myself skimming over it at times. I cared less about what Reed was doing when he was riding off with the other men. I would've been good if that part was shortened up.

I'm settling on a 3 star review, but there were parts of it that were a solid 4.

Historical fiction or not, I did get a better sense of what happened up there than I had with my brief history lesson in school.
