my rating review
This is my favorite of Reichl’s food memoirs. Her use of disguises in order to fool restaurant owners is hysterical.

All of her food memoirs are worth reading. She entertains you while introducing you to a world that loves to eat and write about it.

This biography was disappointing in that it focuses on Jackson’s personal life while president and not enough on the history surrounding Jackson’s presidency. I wanted to learn more about Jackson’s, policies, his effect on Native American’s in The Trail of Tears etc. I have read other books by this author and they were generally excellent.

This is my all time favorite nonfiction read. Norman Maclean wrote very little to our misfortune. However, every book he wrote a novel, A River Runs Through It, a book of short stories and this stunner of an account of the Mann Gulf fire are classics of their genre. The headline of the NYT review was The Greatest Fire Ever Told. Books that tell the story of a wildfire have a pacing like a thriller. This book in three parts narrates the story of the fire and then begins again to tell the story in an even more compelling way solving a mystery along the way. The second part relates the story of the fire and the places where the men died to the stations of the cross which heightens the anguish the reader feels as the account unfolds. The final third part is Maclean’s attempt to bring compassion to the last moments of the smoke jumpers as the fire overtakes them. Maclean’s son, John, is now following in his father’s footsteps relating stories of wild fires. I would also recommend The Big Burn by Timothy Egan. What they share is relating how wild fires have changed for the worse and why. They relate the lives of men dedicated to suppressing these very dangerous fires and the fates they shared. The developing science of wildfire behavior turns out to be a key to understanding what transpired at Mann Gulch. Many lessons were learned which helped prevent future deaths - until the next tragedy.
