Book Reviews of Coming into the Country
Book Review: A Great Read
Summary: 5 Stars
John McPhee is simply a great writer. His skill is the leading character of this novel which is full of intriguing individuals. From characters like the author himself -- who changes and is challenged himself by the environment -- to fellow canoe riders, to grisslies, to yuppie suburbanites, to the self-made, this book delves into what makes people move to Alaska, to adapt, to stay, to survive, to be frustrated, and to not want to be anywhere else.
