The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah
5.0
Wow, did not expect much but this is a wonderful book.
Pros :
- Love the descriptions of Alaska's nature
- Wonderful heartbreaking one-liners
-Cracked up on Ernt's descriptions of changing Kaneq (Detroit/LA/Disneyland lol)
-Wholesome side characters
-Convincing display of parental bonds, sacrifice and love
Cons :
-Pacing was off; I wish Hannah went more into detail about the lonely winters and expanded more on certain plot points. This book doesn't quite have that Murakmi boredom period when characters are stuck somewhere for a long period of time.
-I would like to say I think this is pretty a pop-lit but it was very enjoyable pop lit (probably because it was my first read from Hannah)
