k8kaufman 's review for:
H is for Hawk
by Helen Macdonald
The momentum of the book slams to a slow crawl when she shifts gears to discuss White. Her story is interesting; some of White's story is interesting, but not as much as is included. I am on the fence about recommending this to others. It is well written, sometimes using vocabulary that a reader (me) had to look up. I wanted more of her story and less of White's. I think that the period of time that is covered in the book is a lot shorter than it seems. I am not sure if I would have finished it if it weren't for book club. I liked her and Mabel and the limited people in her world. White on the other hand can be interesting but... (and he isn't always interesting).
