Reflection

When I first began reading this novel I thought it seemed a little interesting but it did not really grab my attention. It did not give off the feeling to encourage me to keep reading it. Personally, I had a hard time reading "Out Stealing Horses" because I never quite got into it and grasped a good sense of the book. The story line seemed a little bland and needed some more exciting parts. Although I did think the imagery it contained was pretty great there needed to be other great parts as well. I did very much like the flashbacks though because they showed a different side to Trond when he was younger. I think the book could have been better had it taken place when Trond was a kid because his life seemed more interesting then his adult life. I would give this book a 2.5-3 out of 5 stars just because the story line was not very captivating. The writing style was good though and it was interesting because it was a translated book. I am not sure if I would suggest this book to someone but if I did I wouldn't tell them to get their hopes up too high.
