Negative Positive
Title: Reluctant reader surprised.
Review: I had thought Janet Daily wrote romance-genre , book club books, not my thing. I bought "The Great Alone" for a friend who had lost her copy, and she insisted I read it before giving it to her.In addition to the author, the book had two strikes against it: a map (which never has all the references made in the text), and a family-tree (which signals lots of characters not easily remembered).Well--the story line is okay, the detailed knowledge of life in what is now Alaska for a two hundred year span is impressive and makes a very interesting and fast read.
