This was a book chosen by our book club and was panned by all members. We chose it because the book was set in the area we live in (Northern Colorado and Southern Wyoming). I'm not sure what to even classify this book as: Fiction? Non-Fiction? or a combo of both. There really isn't a story to the book and I was confused about the characters and their purpose. HOWEVER....I have discussed this book with some other people and they have absolutley loved it. These people all share a common thread: they have been raised on/near a ranch or ranch town and mainly they are from this area as well. So I guess would appeal to this paticular culture. Because of this fact don't mistake that this book is a "western" in the common sense of the word.
