Title: A meditation on life and death
Product review: I read this book in two long sittings. I was captivated by the writing--wandering, wondering descriptions of the geography of my home state. They were accurate enough to evoke memories of my own trips through the passes and the areas east of the mountains, but this was no travelogue--there was a certain dreamscape quality to the descriptions, also.I thought Ben's ruminations on his life, his impending death, and his attempts to control the timing of his death were compelling and kept me glued to the page.If you're looking for a book with a ton of action, best to look elsewhere. But if you don't mind going for a long drive through some pretty lonely country, where the questions are big and the answers are incomplete, then this may be the book for you.
