Personally I did like this book for the fact that it was slow paced. It’s about as exciting a the life of a passionate fisherman in Montana can be. Its slowed pace felt quite relaxing and I tended to read it after stressful moments in my life.
Its prose is beautiful in my opinion and the main protagonist’s love for his brother, wife, faith, and fishing are all key aspects of the character and are heavy motivators for his actions. He does tend to go on these fishing tangents a few times throughout the story and my eyes kind of glazed over those paragraphs, but they are few and far between.
