The Precipice by Paul DoironMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I’ve never read this author before, but I am somewhat familiar with the area this book takes place in… It’s an accurate depiction of that area and a gripping mystery that makes you not want to put it down. The ending is climactic, but yet not telegraphed in the earlier parts of the book… The pacing is smart and fast. The descriptions of the Maine wilderness are beautiful. Mr. Doiron reminds us that the Nature in general, and the AT in particular, offer challenge, escape, excitement, danger, and solace, but make no moral judgments. It’s people who do that. A great read!
