The Ranger by Ace Atkins
3.0
My feelings are a tad mixed.
The Ranger is a nice enough book, the writing was nice from start to end, the characters were solid and mostly likeable, the dialogue was pretty well written. However the book was too long, paced too slowly and the plot turned out a bit thin. The story never really gripped me and however much I liked the writing, I ended up reading the book with the sole purpose of finishing it. It just wasn't exciting enough. Not because it was bad, but maybe because it wasn't good enough in the right places.
