5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful little book, September 6, 2001

By A Customer

Billed as a collection of hunting and fishing essays, Motoviloff brings the sights, sounds and smells of the driftless region to life with his vivid prose. While some are straight hunting and fishing tales, most are splendid little vignettes which reveal a telling, almost religious, bond between the author and the places of which he writes. A wonderful little book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Driftless Stories, November 25, 2008

By	L. Harris "Trout Hunter" (The Heart Of The Driftless Area) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book kept me interested from cover to cover. If you are a c/r person you will NOT like this book. If you believe trout fishing is a blood sport and not golf, you will love this book. These stories remind me of tales my father told me while we were fishing and hunting. I hope John comes out with another very soon.
