- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Not of the caliber of his Coalwood trilogy. Seemed like he was trying to write a "chick-lit" coal mining story and it fell short in my eyes. Simplistic dialogue with a formula romantic relationship. Maybe he is trying to pull in untypical readers into his coal mining stories?
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This latest book of Hickam's has proven to be just as good as his other fiction. Perhaps I appreciated this book so much because my husband is from WV, and so many of the characters are just like people there I have met. I read the last third of the book in one sitting because I just had to know what happened. It certainly kept me on the edge of my seat! I especially like the the text of the speech Hickam gave in honor of the miners who died in the Sago mine. Simply perfect.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent book and great writng of Homer Hickam.This is the first book that I have read of his and it will not be my last. I just loved it. I finished the book in less than 3 days. I never knew much about mining until this. His experiences as a former coal miner and the fact that his father was a coal miner made the story . Homer brought his own experiences into it.
