By Jim Lynch
Northwest
writer Jim Lynch has written a very different book from his earlier gem
The Highest Tide. This was a different and refreshing read. The
character, Brandon, was a wonderful ploy for the author  to use as the
center of the novel and to have him react with all the other
characters. Living in the Northwest I am familiar with the border area
and the drug problems occurring there. It was interesting to read how
Lynch views these problems with his own sense of humor. This is a
touching and funny novel, and Brandon is a wonderful new literary
character, a dyslexic, a nature artist, and a socially awkward young
man who should live in literary history. ~Sue Domis
