I was lucky enoigh to win this book through the Goodreads giveaways. This collection of stories was awesome! I loved the stories and Richard's style of writing. he's not afraid to touch any topic. there was a couple times I felt like he was trying to shock you though. my only real complaint is that these were short stories, I feel like each one could easily be the begining of a novel. Every story I'd get right sucked in for it to end too soon and leave me hanging with too many questions. when the second story, Where are you tonight" ended I was like "what the eff!" I was so into the story and it just ended bah! ! I want to now find his novel I fell that I would love it. I think Richard needs to stop publishing short story collections and take all his short stories and make novels... but then again when I started this book I did say I don't usually read short stories.. maybe I just need to learn to like short stories better... (but much easier for me if Richard writes novels instead)
I love The Northern Canada backdrop, I'm not sure if it's my love for the north or my interest in Native culture or my love for Canadian stories but yay!.
