Title: A Huge Disappointment
Review: I have read Boyer's "Driftless Spirits" and thought it was excellent. I am now trying to find a copy to buy. I live in the midwest and love trains, and liked "Driftless Spirits" so much that I purchased "Snow On The Rails" without even glancing inside it. What a mistake! Most of these railroading stories could be excellent, but every one that I have read is full of obscenities and other vulgarisms. Plus explicit descriptions of lesbianism in at least two of them. "Driftless Spirits" contains nothing like this. The really sad part is that these stories could be told without these vulgarisms. They add nothing, in my opinion. I suppose that today, many people believe that such things add "realism" and "character" to a book. If you are such a person, grab this book, it will thrill you. For any of you who may still have a sense of aesthetics, don't waste any time or money on this trash.
