Andrew Sharp’s Reviews > The Great Alone > Status Update

Yesterday’s reading was so many emotions and things taking place. But we’re finishing this book this morning!

Did some good reading today. Read chapters 13-19, starting on chapter 20 tomorrow. The moments in these pages have been risky, eventful and the dad is continuously testing my patience. The more I read, the more I dislike his narcissism, manipulation tactics. Today’s reading was engaging and I feel that the rest will be even more interesting.

Determined to finish this book this week. Today I’ll reach the halfway point.

Some good reading today. Just as I thought The Nightingale had great character development, I can say the same for The Great Alone. The dad is starting to get antagonistic but there’s a beautiful mother-daughter bond in the story so far. I got a feeling I can predict what happens next but I’m overall enjoying.

Read 65 pages and 4 chapters in 2 and a half hours. Longer chapters but great detail here to make it engaging. This book tells the story of a dad coming home from war, eventually for the family to move to Alaska to live off-grid. This book embraces unknown, uncertainty and requires survival. Kristin Hannah has a writing style that puts readers on the edge of their seats and I’m already enjoying this.
