I liked this quite a bit, though not sure it was as great as all the hype led me to believe. But I did find myself anxious to return to it every time I set it aside, so there‘s that.

What a page turner! Really heartbreaking, but redemptive in the end. Well described characters
This book dragged on and didn‘t live up to the hype. The rich acted as if they were superior to everyone else and their morals were terribly flawed. There were a couple of red herrings, and while the truth behind one missing child was heartbreaking, the other made sense. Not sure if this was a good snapshot of the 70s era. But honestly, it didn‘t need to be nearly 500 pages long. Book #103 in 2024
Twists and turns abound. I liked how the timeline jumped around between before, then, and now to build a complete picture of the family and its ties to the community.
I liked the setting and the general concept but it was just weird for me. It felt off. I didn‘t like the writing. It didn‘t feel genuine or relatable. I just could not fully get into this one or stay interested. It was very wordy and the characters weren‘t my favorite. Just okay for me.
This book was very good. It was almost a 5 star for me. Almost. While I really liked it, it felt like something was missing at the end. I do love the way the author included a timeline at the top of the chapters. This really helped me to keep track. I also love that the story takes place in the Adirondacks, as I‘ve spent time there. Not sure that this book deserved all of the hype, but I‘d still recommend it.
I thought this was great. Not really the thriller aspect , which was a slow burn, but the rich family vibe. Always thinking they have the right to influence everything their own way!
Reading the God Of The Woods by Liz Moore and on page 166 which is 36% in but so far it is not as compelling as I was expecting. But I still have high hopes. Do like the family dynamic aspect of the story and the different timelines.
Better once I got into it.
10-21-24: My 37th finished book of 2024! I enjoy Liz Moore‘s writing style. This story takes place in a few different time lines. The present is summer 1975 at Camp Emerson where a child has gone missing. The past is 1961, at the home called Self-Reliance, on the same land as the camp, where a child has gone missing. Two missing children, two different times, same family. Can investigator Judyta Luptack put it all together? ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️📖#️⃣3️⃣7️⃣
