Wonderful experience of the country I love

When I first picked up this novel, it seemed rather lengthy and a tough read. However, after the first 100 pages, it took off faster than I can remember any novel I have read in a long time. Living in the area displayed in the book for the past 4+ years, I can relate to so many things with the characters and story. Growing up in Chicago certainly allow me to relate to the characters from the "big city." If one could replace the "silver-boom and bust" with the current "real estate boom and bust" in the area, you wouldn't know the difference. I have met and done business with many people just like Johnny, Gabe, Will, and more, it's amazing. I guess people are people, and the setting is amazing. If you've ridden the Durango-Silverton railroad, spent time in the mountains, hiked around here, then this book is a wonderful read.
