On the last day of November, I still had not chosen a book for December. I decided to go through the new listings on the Online Books page. Before selecting a book, I read the first chapter or two to determine if I am at least interested enough to read further.
When I got to this book I couldn't stop. I read the first ten chapters before tearing myself away long enough to change the links on my home page to make it my book of the month.
A fast paced adventure, it kept my undivided attention throughout. It was only two and a half hours into the month when I finished it. I never even heard of this nearly 100 year old work of fiction nor it's author before but I'm certainly glad I found it.
This is an excellent escape from real life, which will carry you away to the Olympic Mountains of Washington state. Another book that I highly recommend.
