I liked reading the original words of the author. It is very well-written, but short...a slim 55 pages in length! Mine is a sturdy-ish softcover with front and end flaps, with a handsome photo of Heath and Jake on the cover. It is probably a good idea to have a look at it in the bookstore to see if you wish to spend $9.95. I am glad to own it. -- LJG Discussion board

You can also find it in a collection of short stories (it's called Close Range) that is a much better buy if you can find it. You might like Annie Proulx other work, The Shipping News and Postcards (there are more but these are my two favorites!). Shipping News has also been made into a film.

- I love the book and the movie (Shipping News), so I did think I would like the story. I just didn't know if it woudl be best to buy the story stand alone, or in a collection. I am a book whore (no joke), so any additions are great. (NT) -- Oleander, 08:00:26 11/30/07 Fri
  - I listened to on tape read by the author. I rented it at our local library. I really liked hearing her read it. (NT) -- tlk2vicki, 23:11:40 11/30/07 Fri
