In the Heart of the Canyon Audiobook

" Great characterization. I felt like I was with them on the whole trip. The end a bit contrived but slighlty surprising. Quick read. "

It is one of those books that I think you have to be in the right frame of mind to read. I will keep it on my To Read list and perhaps come back to it in the future. "
