The Mountain Story by Lori Lansens

3.0

The Mountain Story is a survivalist novel, with a background of familial drama and grief. The survival portions were interesting, with Bridget making me want to pull my hair out, and loving the resilience of Nola. I found it a good balance or useful survival actions mixed with understandable ignorance. I thought the sections that were about Wolf's early life and his life with Byrd took away from the story a little, by taking the reader out of the action too frequently and for too long. I didn't think it helped me understand Wolf's character any better, and could do without it. But the book wrapped up nicely and I overall liked it.
