This book was a great read. No doubt about it - I highly recommend
it. However, I am from Newfoundland, and I feel the need to respond
to the comments made by John from Waterloo (see below). Its true,
through history, many Newfoundlanders have struggled through tough
economic times, but through their perseverance and strength of
character have prevailed. Newfoundland today is a beautiful place
as it has always been, with one of the lowest crime rates in Canada
and boasts one of the countries fastest growing economies.
This book is not meant to be an attack on Newfoundlanders. It is
about a character and his struggles, and those of the characters he
meets while in Newfoundland. It is a great book, and a great story!
But as for Newfoundland - don't judge the book by its cover.
