OVERVIEW:
The book is about people who have gone missing in the wilderness in America/Canada. The central story revolves around the disappearance of Jacob Gray, and his father's quest to find him.

The narration was good/okay overall, but it got boring at times, so much so that I was left wondering why I was even reading this book? Luckily, it wasn't long, and I finished in a single afternoon.

 I read different topics/genres, and the subject matter intrigued me, but it was more push to finish versus "I can't put it down."

My Last Minute Thoughts:

1. I feel more attention/coverage should be put on missing people cases. Telling their stories could be fascinating and motivate searches to continue.
2. I found the tone dry at times and very judgemental. The author tried to be philosophical at times and missed.
3. If you like true crime, you might like this.
