Title: Great rural novel
Review: This is the first novel by Mr. Doolittle I've read -- an impressive,first-rate read. His characterization (including a romance) andsetting (rural Nebraska) are dead on. The title concerns anex-reporter from Chicago returning home to run his lategrandfather's canoe/outdoor expedition camp. Our hero runs intolocal nasties including a vicious deputy sheriff. The pacing issmart and the dialogue is seamless. The narrative stays oncourse and doesn't drift. IMO, one of the best books I've readthis year.
