The Indifferent Stars Above: The Harrowing Saga of the Donner Party | Daniel James Brown

pick

The audio of this story of the Donner party is a bit dry at first, but the writing is so good that despite the subpar audio, the quality takes over and it‘s fully absorbing. I love that I finished it while driving through PNW mountains—it made the listen even more atmospheric.

bio_chem06 I have this book on hold at the library right now! I‘m so glad to see a good review because I was looking forward reading to it. Glad to know if I just power through the boring beginning, it will be alright. 3w

A fictionalized account of the Donner tragedy. Interesting, well written. Not sure the fictionalization was any better than the actual story. A 3.5 stars at best.

Final #roll100 read for June and I really enjoyed this slightly-supernatural reimagining of the Donner Party - something I knew nothing about prior and found extremely interesting! A slow burn but that helped ratchet up the tension - really enjoyed it!
