Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I expected to enjoy this book, but my expectations were far exceeded. Steve Kahn has a gift for explaining life in bush Alaska through short stories that are not only fascinating, but touch our souls by reminding us what really matters in life. The further I got into the book, the more compelling I found it. I could easily visualize Kahn's experiences as a hunting guide and commercial fisherman. Of course, by the time I got to the last section about his life at Lake Clark the hook was set so deep that I could not let go. My wife would remind me that it was time to go to bed, so I needed to put the book down. Kahn manages to capture the essence of a bushy cast of characters without doing them any harm.The story that probably got to me the most was "Of Wood and Warmth." The topic of woodcutting is brought to life in a way I never would have imagined possible. What a treat!
