I almost DNFed this one because it gets pretty weird in places, a little too abstract for me, especially some of the flights of imagery that don‘t ultimately mean anything. But it was worth pushing through for the third act and that poignant final line that sums up the whole character arc.

I also learned that…

CSeydel the author‘s father is a close associate of Charles Manson, which added a certain heft to her portrayal of the “maniac demagogue in the desert” character. I‘m still not sure I‘d recommend this to everyone, but I‘m glad I read it and I think it covers a lot of ground as a psychological study of a culture and a work of eco-fiction. 6mo

I enjoyed it. It‘s a little too long, but worth the read.

I found this at a library book sale at some point and it‘s made a few moves with me. Tried to start it today, but within a few pages I could tell it‘s not for me. Oh well, on to the next book.📚

Cathythoughts Great cover though … 9mo
vlwelser I felt the same about this one. 9mo
Hooked_on_books I was not a fan of this one and fully support this bail! 9mo

I‘ve discovered the reason not to read two books by the same author at the same time. One is slow and drags, but still interesting. The other, however, is my pick when deciding which one to read. So it‘s hard to be motivated to read the other one. I won‘t tell which is which, but I‘d be interested to learn if anyone else has a favorite between these two.

mcctrish I have read The Dry and it made me want to read more by Harper 9mo
AvidReader25 I‘ve read and love both, but they are definitely different stories with very different pacing. 9mo
Ruthiella I read The Dry first. In fact I read all her books in publication order. The Dry is my least favorite. Force of Nature is probably my favorite because I really enjoyed the plot. But The Last Man was very good too. 9mo

DHill @mcctrish same. But I loved The Lost Man just slightly more. 😊 9mo
mcctrish Looks like it can only better for me and JH ❤️❤️❤️ 9mo
Susanita There‘s a little reference to The Dry in The Lost Man that amused me once I realized it. 9mo
CoverToCoverGirl I actually loved them both, so I‘m no help. 🤭 9mo
Texreader @Susanita I‘m so glad you dropped that hint. I was so darned confused when I read the reference, because like an idiot I was reading the books at the same time and got the storylines all messed up in my head. Then I read your comment and it all clicked. Now I‘m going to finish The Dry before I finish The Lost Man to try to eliminate the confusion. 9mo

I bailed pretty quickly on this. Just couldn‘t get interested and then they killed the prairie dog (I love those little rodents) and while I tried to continue, I just couldn‘t
