Take three complex characters add in Boyle’s brilliant
writing gifts and what you have is a dramatic and engaging novel that I highly
recommend. You have a vet named Sten
dealing with a son going through a mental break, said son, Adam, diving deeper
into behavior that’s anti-social and dangerous. And the older woman named Sarah that becomes
romantically entangled with Adam, a rebellious horse trainer who is
anti-government and in trouble with the law.
The switch in point of view is insightful and proof there’s many sides
to a story. From my research on
Wikipedia, this book was inspired by the real case of Aaron Bassler of Northern
California. Don’t look into this unless
you want a major spoiler. Boyle proves again that he’s a master of taking a
real story and making it his own.
Grade: A
