A review by jenna_cross
Mink River by Brian Doyle

2.0

2 stars for potential but really a 1 star reading experience. I couldn't wait for it to be over but dreaded picking it up. I wanted to quit multiple times because nothing was happening and I wasn't enjoying it but I kept telling myself it has to get better. Halfway through I was so sick and tired of the descriptive lists! "Oh no! Not another one!". I would roll my eyes and heavily sigh when I realized another list was upon me. The switches between characters were hard to keep track of and I wanted to go deeper with so many of them. There are some really special people in this story but we only ever got a shallow look inside. I was so excited to read this one but what a disappointment it turned out to be.
