A review by sapphire_mayo
Mink River by Brian Doyle

5.0

This might have just become my favorite book of all time. The way the story of this town is told is phenomenal and unlike anything I have ever read. If you have ever wanted to read a book with the best run-on sentences ever written, this is the one. All of Doyle's characters are clear and distinct in my mind (although it does take a while to remember their relationships) so that I can easily tell who is who despite the lack of distinction of dialog. I love the omniscient point of view, it really sets the idea that this is a story of the soul of the town which isn't just made up of one person's perspective, but everyone's, including the bears and the ouzels. I can't wait to pick up another of his books.
