Book Reviews of Nickel Mountain
Book Review: Enjoy it like a feast and read it slowly .
Summary: 5 Stars
The characters in this evocative book are inseparable from the pure texture of the unforgiving landscape in which they exist. Although their struggle concerns each one's individual search for love and acceptance, they ultimately acknowledge their situation for what it is; coming to peace with their own strengths and limitations. This book is truly a feast. I have found that it is to be savored by reading a chapter or two a week, allowing time in between courses to catch my breath. John Gardner was a writer without peer and I wonder what he would be producing today, nearly twenty years after his death.
