cj_jones 's review for:
The Daily Coyote: Story of Love, Survival, and Trust In the Wilds of Wyoming
by Shreve Stockton
This is the book from Shreve Stockton, who moved from New York to San Francisco to New York to Wyoming, adopted a baby coyote, and started a website. She's a talented photographer, and this book about her first... year and a half or so in Wyoming is generous mixed with her photographs. (Hopefully later editions will solve the colorfast problem.)
I mentioned earlier that it took far too long for the coyote to show up. And I maintain that, but not as strongly as I did. But the first half to two thirds of the book is an enjoyable read. Eventually, it started to creep in that we were progressing along, moment to moment. The analogy of snapshots occurred to me, with her photography angle. There are interesting things going on, but the story feels (as can happen when you're writing about real life) like it wanders a bit, lacking in direction. If she writes more story-related books (she's written a cookbook already) then she may be able to hone her skills.
There we have it. I enjoyed the book, but not without a note of disappointment.
