Title: preachy, preachy, preachy
Review: Kate Shugak is getting more and more arrogant and more dislikable. The mystery seems insignificant in comparison to Stabenow's seeming need to preach. The book is about 100 pages longer than her previous books and most of it can be attributed the preaching arrogance of the main character, Kate Shugak. Her arrogance and high-mindness are a real turnoff. For example, she disses all people in organized religion as not being able to think for themselves, declares all states that end in a vowel to be redneck states, disses all music that she doesn't like, and if someone isn't enjoying the outdoors in the manner that she doesn't see fit they really don't deserve to be outside. It is all just a little too much for me! This will be my last Kate Shugak mystery. (As an aside, the love angles are just a little 8th-grade for me.
