My Review
Mr. Halverson is a prolific storyteller. I was instantly drawn to this story and the characters. The main characters, LeRoy and Johnny B were the type of guys that I would have wanted to meet and share a drink sitting around the campfire, listening to their stories.
LeRoy and Johnny B were different but same at the same time. They may have come from different paths but they were both looking for new adventures. Another person that I liked and kind of wished that she was featured longer in this book is Alice. Both men experienced a spark with Alice. Thus the reason that Alice left as to not form a barrier between the men.
I loved every moment of this book. The journey that LeRoy and Johnny B took left them with tons of great memories. A must read.
