The Snowfly

Rating:
Summary: truelly hooked
Review: A really great adventure with well thought out characters and plenty of action. Lots of mystery that does't let you in on the whole picture until the very end. The thread of fly fishing which runs throughout the book is very well written. I looked for other books by the author just because I enjoyed this one so much, I hope to see more work by Mr. Heywood in the future. The idea of a giant mayfly that hatches only once a decade and lures out only the biggest of trout is a grand idea!

Summary: The One That Got Away...
Review: First off, I profess my love for 2 of Heywood's previous novels, "The Berkut" and "The Domino Conspiracy" - they are fantastic thrillers that should be sought out by anyone who likes the genre. "The Snowfly" is a mild disappointment - the dialogue of some characters is unbelievably stilted and the plot is too convoluted - his other books were much tighter. The descriptions of fishing and the fisherman's mindset, however, are extremely well drawn out and there's enough globetrotting adventure to make this worthwhile. I hope that Heywood produces books more frequently in the future.

Summary: A waste of time and money
Review: I picked up this book about five months ago, and I have to say I was truly looking forward to a complex plot mixed with fly-fishing. Unfortunantely, the book contains neither a well written plot, or beautiful descriptions of days on the water. The Snowfly is not worth your time or money, unless you have a severe case of insomnia.

Summary: Brillant
Review: The Snowfly is the most brillant book i have ever read. There is never a dull moment, and i couldn't put the book down. The author combines suspense with intrigue. I never knew what was going to happen next.

Rating:
Summary: It's Right Good
Review: This book may seem ordinary to non-flyfishermen, but if you fish, it is magical, and contains mulitple climaxes, seeming to end, then finally surprising the reader with a second unanticipated ending. Highly recommended!

Summary: The Snowfly was fantastic!
Review: What an incredible story. I could not put it down. There needs to be more books like this, intermingling flyfishing with life and such. The author showed great diversification with this story; murder, travel, sex, humor, death and of course.. discussing and defining that "troutbug" so many of us get.

Thanks Mr. Heywood.
