This book leaves me conflicted. I was completely engrossed throughout the first 350 pages. But there was a point for me where the bad decisions, tragedies, etc... went overboard and I lost my suspension of disbelief. Did I fall in love with the characters, the setting, and wonderful little community? Yes. Did I contemplate moving to Alaska and becoming a homesteader? Yes. Did Ernt make my stomach turn, leaving me with bad dreams and unsettling nights of sleep? Yes. Was I surprised by all the twists and turns? All yes. I totally get why everyone is raving about this, The Great Alone is hard to put down. But somewhere in there I cannot help that I stopped believing in the story. Still, tho, it was worth the read.
