Five Skies by Ron Carlson was lent me by a colleague and he mentioned it was one of his favorite books. I've been reading mostly nonfiction the last few years, and mostly about farming, gardening and such, so I thought I'd take a break.
Five Skies is a good book. It read quick and I found myself liking the characters and wanting to see what would happen to them. The story is about three men; roughly 50ish, 49ish and 20ish; who are looking to be somewhere different than they currently are. They end up in very rural Idaho building a ramp fora stunt woman to jump a canyon. They are all running from their pasts, while trying to confront the same pasts.
One of the enjoyable things is the two older men teach the younger man to be a man. The youngster didn't have a father and these two help him grow and mature.
While I enjoyed the read, I'll move back to nonfiction as I am trying to learn a few more things before our next adventure happens.
