The Sky Fisherman Audiobook

" I think this book is meant for an older audience that have lived through that time period as a reminder...maybe?... I really couldn't understand the plot of this book, it starts very tedious and I think the abandonment of Riley, or Riley in general, was irrelevant. That if Riley was not described the book wouldn't be that different. Though the book did have some wonderful mythological stories that brightened the story, or some meaningful quotes that allowed me to think. "

" Great Western literature! "

" This could be for young adults or adults. There are quite a number of themes that one can discuss such as Native Americans attitudes towards whites and vice versa; life in the west; outdoor life; life of a boy with a single mother, etc. It got a bit tiring at the end but had a suprise ending. "

" I really enjoyed this, despite not thinking I could relate at the beginning. the young protagonist was so brave, I found myself hoping and praying with him and I fell in love with uncle jake "

" The story created within this novel was enjoyable. I've read it a couple of times, as I do most books I like, I understand more about the characters and the relationships the author creates for the reader. "

" Craig Lesley really knows how to tell a story! "

" I loved this book, not only because I live in the town that this book is based on. Or that I've met the author =] I found it a great read. With a different story. "

" vivid images. can see this book as a movie...if it is done well. "

" I like reading books set in the west, I can really relate to the setting. Enjoyed the fishing and rafting descriptions, and the feeling that you really could relate to these characters. "

" I thought Winterkill was my favortie Craig Lesley Book until I read this one. His characters are so compelling I swear I've met them before. Leslie illustrates the interesting dynamic of living on or near reservation land. "

" Who would have thought I would love a book with fishing as a central activity? This is a great book about small towns, hard times, disasters and people. A great read. "

" Wonderful coming of age story occuring in eastern Oregon with many places I can see and imagine I have been there. Craig Lesley is a great writer who can create visual images with words. "

" one of those books where you spend the last chapter reading through tears. sobbing, perhaps. "

" I loved this book and what made it even more fun to read is that it was written by a local (Oregon) author! Well-developed characters and a great story. A must read, especially if you have even an ounce of interest in Native American stories. "

" Great coming of age story set in Oregon by wonderful author. "

" Another one of my all time favorite books. "

" If I had the choice between lighting myself on fire and reading this book over again, I'd choose the match. "

" Mary Lee gave this book at a book exchange. I enjoyed the book and the relationships between the boy and his uncle. I haven't read much about male relationships and I enjoyed the location (Oregon). "

" I wish I could find more books like this. Novels with good characterization set here in beautiful Oregon. The Crying Tree, while a very different sort of story, does fit this category. "

" This was the MOST boring, plotless, and pointless book I have ever read. "

" Wonderful make coming of age story with fishing and a murder at the center of the story. "

" I had trouble getting into this book. The characters and setting are so archetypal, it seemed like a pointless read. But when it comes to nature and Oregon mythology, Lesley's prose just blooms in your gut -- and once the story starts to settle in the river, the novel comes together. "

" The small-town West is alive in this book. As an Oregonian, I could relate to this book. Although I enjoyed River Song more, both Winterkill and The Sky Fisherman are worth the time. If you like stories of the West, Montana, Wyoming, etc., then you will enjoy The Sky Fisherman. "
