The Brave by Nicholas Evans

4.0

Though not nearly as good as his first, and undoubtedly best-selling novel 'The Horse Whisperer', 'The Brave' stands for a good read. The characters are well developed, and the setting was quite marvellous. The 50's Hollywood is described so vividly, and so differently to Hollywood as we now know it, that Nicholas Evans really does transport you there, and beyond into the American Wilderness. With so many different settings, I imagined it to be difficult to follow but this book was quite the contrary. Though I would say that the earlier story line is a little bit predictable, there is a rather unsuspecting twist towards the end of the novel. For me, that is what brought the book back up - after all, who doesn't like a good twist? :)
