What I liked: the insight into the wine industry; the cast of unique characters with interconnecting stories; the friendships between characters of different ages What I disliked: howling at the moon in the nude; the attempts by the characters to solve every problem with sex; the many many really stupid decisions they made; the New Age philosophy that was spouted as a cure for all life's problems; the fact that after forcing my way through the entire book the ending was a cliff hanger with almos...
A first with this author. There is a long introduction to the characters. Almost too long. I was going to close the book, unfinished, but this did start to pick up. I simply had to remember that it's not an action or horror book where things are going on left and right from the very beginning, but a study of the human condition on Red Mountain. The story gets a wee bit hokey, but one expects that from the original description. Having said all that, you may be surprised by my review, I just don't...
My fave of the year so far!! Thanks to the author for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Check out the full review at https://spinesinaline.wordpress.com!I'm somewhat new to the literary fiction genre but this is definitely where to turn if you want a great group of complex and developed characters. The unique part about this book was that the setting becomes as much a character in the story as any of the people are! I can definitely feel the author’s passion for Red Mountain
Horrible I didn't get to the halfway mark before abandoning the book. Like another reader, I don't know where to begin describing the awfulness of this book. It is a celebration of pretentiousness, class consciousness, sexual license as limited and determined by class, the trappings of new age spirituality and the terrible struggle of those who only have wealth, wine and good food to somehow find ?The characters are not just flat but are offensively separated by class stereotypes. These everyday...
“Red Mountain” by Boo Walker is the first “romance” novel I’ve read that is written by a man. It’s a book club read, which means I would have never read, or continued to read, if not for book club. Saying that, it’s a fine story, easy to read.It’s about a mountain in Oregon that is a focal point of successful vineyards. It’s a story of people who found themselves in the art of making wine, in the nature of the mountain, in the love of community. This is a novel that could be an attraction to the...
This was a soap opera! Really! It had the cliff hanger at the end just like every Friday on the tv serials. This novel was character driven, and if this had been the first character driven novel I had read, I wouldn’t read another. So, if you like a soap opera, this book is for you! But, I would suggest you read Wendell Berry or Maeve Binchy for a well written, character driven novel.
A truly inspired and obviously heartfelt book--a nice drama with lots of (too much?) information on growing wines in eastern Washington state, where the book's set. One star off for a bit too much telling over showing, but all in all, a good read.
Warning - drop this book right now.It is the worst kind of soap opera publication. I enjoyed it up until the last page. The ending did not disappointment me, but the fact that the author lacks either the integrity or the self-confidence to actually finish the story did. I was on my way to a three- or four-star rating when the author ended the book purposely on the worst sort of cliff-hanger. In a story that read like a Nora Roberts trilogy, he would have had no problem continuing the series, but...
I did not finish and I had been so excited about this one, too! It is hard for me to believe this saccharine infused “novel” received such great reviews. First of all, the characters were one dimensional and B O R I N G and second, the plot was predictable, predictable and predictable. I skimmed to the ending and it was just as awful as I had expected. Don’t waste your time.
