The Snow Falcon

Rating:
Summary: A must-read for animal lovers
Review: A book that reads like the script of a soap opera, it is written in a narrative style peppered with many conversations. The book flashes between different scenes, each focusing on the thoughts and actions of the people in Little River Bend, the British Columbia town in which this story revolves around.

The downside of this novel is that it can get arduously long at times, the story moving without a sense of direction and focusing on the unimportant aspects of the people's daily lives, just as waking up and eating breakfast.It is also felt that the author did not deal adequately with Micheal's mental breakdown; the reasons given sometimes read like a lame excuse. Jamie's refusal to speak also seems unbelievable. All in all, the author just only skim the surface and did not probe deeper into the characters' inner beings, leaving the readers thirsty for more.

The upside of this novel is definitely that of the snow falcon. The author's descriptions of the falcon flying and soaring in the air and the surrounding landscape were lyrical and beautiful. The relationship between Micheal and Cully gives an interesting perspective into the communication and understanding between man and beast and furthermore, it is very touching. Readers were also given a peep into the world of falconry and introduced to the jargon used.

To summarise, this book is good for light reading and a must-read for all animal lovers; it will jolt the tears out of them.

Summary: Absolutely enchanting!
Review: Does your soul need an uplift? Do I have the book for you!. The Snow Falcon is a soaring adventure bursting with spirit. Just what the doctor ordered, this enchanting tale, whose author's command of language is sensuously poetic, reminds the reader of life's important lessons (e.g., love, relationships and redemption), lessons that will pleasantly linger in the minds of readers long after the last pages are turned.

Summary: THIS WAS A WONDERFUL BOOK.
Review: I LOVED THIS BOOK. I LOVED THE DESCRIPTION OF THE FALCON AND ITS RELATION TO MAN. I ALSO LOVED THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MICHAEL SOMERS AND JAMIE AND FINALLY MICHAEL AND JAMIE'S MOTHER. HARRISON WRITES BEAUTIFULLY. MY ONLY REGRET WAS THAT THIS BOOK WASN'T PROMOTED AS MUCH AS I WOULD HAVE LIKED TO HAVE SEEN IT PROMOTED FOR IT WERE, IT WOULD DEFINITELY HAVE MADE THE BEST SELLER'S LIST.

Summary: Excellent Novel
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed The Snow Falcon. The novel explores the nature of healing - from loss, from a dark past - and the extent to which animals can participate in that process. If you're an animal lover, this book is a must-read. Even if you're not, I highly recommend it. It would be a good book-club selection -- plenty going on here and I do think the characters and plot lend themselves to discussion very nicely.

Summary: Easy Read but had to admit couldnt put it down
Review: Snow Falcon is a book that you can read at speed, not taxing that is for sure,,..but you still had that urge to keep reading. I enjoyed it a light read with some romance recommend it for air travel or just when wanting to pamper yourself.
