Book Reviews of The Big Sky
Book Review: The archetypal frontiersman novel.
Summary: 4 Stars
For anyone who has read and enjoyed a fair cross-section of the mountain man adventure novel genre, reading "The Big Sky" will let you know where many of the major plot elements that drive these works originated. (Well, maybe not originated, but Guthrie used them earlier than many.) For one, fans of Terry Johnston's Titus Bass will see an uncanny resemblance between Bass and Guthrie's Boone Caudill. Guthrie writes in a slightly more literary style than his latter-day imitators, and he displays a particular talent with dialogue and imagery. Perhaps the only reason I wasn't overly impressed was that I'd read it all before--in novels written 30-40 years after Guthrie penned "The Big Sky."
