The River Why by David James Duncan

3.0

This was an interesting read. On the surface it's a book about fishing, but it actually digs a lot deeper than that with questions on "Why." The main character is searching for something more through the entire novel. The first half seemed a little slow, but once Gus started to learn, and change, and grow it became a lot more interesting and I didn't want to put it down. The events of this novel predate the Vietnam War (as the draft is just mentioned near the end) but it really felt timeless.
