A truly beautiful work that will stand the test of time. August 18, 1999
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Harry should take his place next to other great authors. Themessage that this book carries is in the depth of caring and a universal consideration for life, along with the message that these things do not come from the material comforts on which we have we have come to depend. I think of this book and its lessons often in this era when our children eat drugs like candy, flock to the artificiality of backsteet urban culture and shoot each other just to "belong". I think it offers a moral reality that they yearn for. I agree with the reviewer from WA, this should be made by Redford into a movie. Maybe with Newman or Ralph Waite with some of the old" Walton" cast (especially the narrator). Does anyone know how to contact him? This book will remain number one on my bookshelf. Its too bad we lost Harry so early. Now we have to hope some publisher will buy the rights and re-issue "Starlight Creek Angling Society" so the rest of us can read the continuing saga.
An American Classic June 15, 1999
I was fortunate to have purchased a 1st edition of this book in 1996 and consider it to be one of the indispensible books in my personal library. I am a regular volunteer at the local public school and this is the one book I take to the school to read to the high school literature classes every year. This book is not a book about fishing but a book about life. Buy this book for your friends, family, and English teachers, I do!! A book to be treasured, truly an American Classic. Lynn
Brought me extreme pleasure! February 21, 1999
A story that grabs you immediately and holds you tight. What a great experience! I'm sure no young man would ask to live in a world without modern conveniences and yet I'm sure Harry wouldn't have traded his life for that of any other. Sure impressed me, so much so that immediately sent the book off to my son the minute I finished it. Only wish I could find it in a library edition. It's a book to be treasured.
 A poignant, beautiful story. October 5, 1998
A poignant, beautiful story of a young man living with two eccentric older relatives in the Ozarks. This young man learns what is important in life and the reader learns with him. Not so much about fly fishing,it is about relationships, understanding and diversity. Middleton enthralls you from the beginning and I would highly recommend this book for anyone who enjoys stories about life and learning.
this is a masterpiece of fiction May 9, 1998
I was raised by a legendary flyfishermen of the Northwest and picked up this book for him several years ago. He gave a copy back to me and reading it was a rare joy. This novel is perfectly constructed and written with a poets love of language and image. One caution...the print gets a little blurry toward the end. I can't shake the idea that Redford should film this with Paul Newman.
