The &lt;i&gt;Washington Post&lt;/i&gt; said, &quot;In &lt;i&gt;Lake Overturn&lt;/i&gt;, McIntyre has created a vast, intricate lattice of relationships, reminiscent of the novels of Richard Russo....Here is an author capable of handling even the most noxious elements when he stirs his American backwater.&quot;  And &lt;i&gt;Out&lt;/i&gt; Magazine said, &quot;Richly imagined and fully realized, &lt;i&gt;Overturn&lt;/i&gt; has given us what we didn’t know we were waiting for: the next Great Idahoan Novel.&quot;
