SWEEPINGLY BRILLIANT
By Clive
It just shows that I shouldn't let my prejudices influence me. I'm always a bit jaundiced about books linked to films, so I wasn't expecting too much from this novel. How wrong I was. Of course, this isn't a book written of a film but a book, written years earlier, that was, subsequently, made into a film. That makes a big difference. There's lots of stuff on the media about how true to the book the film is but I'm not bothered about that here; I'll just comment on the book itself.It's brilliant!Many years ago I hear about the story of Hugh Glass and his epic crawl through the wilderness but I only dimly remembered that when I saw this book being hyped. But is was enough to make me buy the Kindle version. I'm no expert on how the mountain men and trappers lived but every line of this work rings with authenticity. And it's truly fascinating stuff. The level of detail, from the kit to the flora and fauna is spectacular and never boring. I don't appreciate the condescension when an author uses a word and then feels obliged to explain what it means, implying that the reader is either too ill-informed to already know it or too dull to find out, and I'm delighted to report that Mr Punke doesn't do that at all. The story is peppered with words, phrases and names, often in a foreign language, that the reader is expected to work out for themselves; so, for example, beaver pelts are referred to as 'plews' because that is exactly what they would have been called at that time. Good for you Mr Punke.The characters that populate this work are so richly drawn that they live and breathe and I really cared about them. Some of their exploits should have been too unbelievable to sit, comfortably, within the plot yet that isn't the case at all; they are just remarkable men (and they are all men). A great deal of this story is historical fact and the skill displayed by the author in using fictional elements to knit it all together is so well delivered that the whole is a seamless flow.I absolutely devoured this book and, when I had to put it down (because real life intruded), I couldn't wait to get back to it. There are all sorts of superlatives that are overused in reviews so I won't type them here; simply imagine that I've poured every complimentary superlative that you've ever heard into this paragraph and you'll get the picture. I feel privileged to have read this or, indeed, it's so good that I feel as though I've lived it. If I have but one complaint, it's that the book ended too soon; I could have, happily, read on for several hundred more pages of this stuff and I felt real disappointment when I had to put it down for the last time.The only book(s) that I've read that sound as though they have a similar resonance, especially abut the various Indian tribes, were the series written by James Fennimore Cooper, know largely as 'The Last of Mohicans'. What's strange about that is that, in fact, Fennymore Cooper was a fraud who never went anywhere near the frontier of which he wrote, and he conjured most of it from his imagination, whereas the historical credentials of Michael Punke are rock solid (JFC's hero was, actually, called 'Natty Bumppo' but I can't see Daniel Day-Lewis being happy with that label!).Sadly, Mr Punke hasn't written anything else that attracts me but, in case I haven't made it clear, I absolutely loved The Revenant!!

Another World
By Kublai
It's quite fascinating to see what life was like for the few whites venturing into the American West. The story is told well, but in a functional way without too many frills. At times it steps from fiction over into a historical account, and then back again. As such, the events gain from the sense that you are reading a historical narrative, but never quite jump off the page as they would from a better novelist. Having reached the end I'm glad I read it, without feeling the story was all it could have been. A decent book, and very interesting with plenty of detail about life being a trapper, fighting off - often very non-politically correct - Indians, surviving against the odds, in a truly wild west.

Excellent read. Good piece of historical fiction.
By capgeoff
Outside of the United States, perhaps, this period is sketchy. We can read much about the War of Independence and that of 1812 and the next period is the Wild West period of the late 19th century. This depiction of the early 19th century West is to me most welcome as I have often thought that it must have a tough time for tough men - and women out there. For good or ill, a convincing portrayal of the European American forcing his Way West, and the native American Indian trying to keep them off their own turf and pelts, both of them ruthless, both of them desperate.
