A prequel to The Crackie, The Place is another well-executed Newfoundland novel from one of my favourite living authors. His writing style and story-telling abilities are spell-binding and I read this cover to cover in a few hours. If you've already read The Crackie, then this will fill in some details for you, nevertheless, I still recommend reading it, for maybe, just maybe, there might be a sequel?

Another awesome book by Gary Collins!
I loved this book, the format, the writing, the story itself. The Place is where we all come from, where we call home, and is dear to our hearts. The ties to The Crackie were wonderfully set on the table before us. I totally enjoyed the read.
