An unreadable book masquerading as a best seller.
What a con game we have fallen for. I don't know how they do it, but so called writers like Brett Easton Ellis, Donna Tartt and now Stephen Graham Jones have all got us fooled into thinking that their books are somehow worth reading. I know no one ever reads these Amazon reviews but just in case you do, save your thirty dollars and some of your time and leave this book on the shelf. A native American keeps seeing ghostly images of an elk that he and three others killed when they were young boys. A dumb idea to begin wth which gets worse the more I read. The writing is at times nonsenical- at one point the author refers to "the Gatling gun of history." What is that supposed to mean? At another point one of the main characters hallunicates seeing his wife with the head of an elk. This is where I quit reading the book.
