Winter's Bone by Daniel Woodrell March Book Discussion for 3/16 (noon/7pm)

I don’t know if you can say you “enjoyed” reading this book.  Everything about Ree Dolly and her family situation is really tough.  She takes a lot on her shoulders—she has to—for her family to survive. Much of the action and interactions are menacing and brutal. I can’t imagine living like that.  I liked the descriptions of the Ozarks landscapes.  I really want to see the movie (even though it didn’t win the Academy Award for Best Picture) and compare it with the book. Ree is one spunky (or crazy) gal and you won’t soon forget her.
