book jsut cant rember when i finished it, sometime last year i liked it a lot when he's surprising houseguests who don't know they own a cougar! i liked it a lot less when he was fantasizing about bludgeoning hippies! Well, I finally finished it.
It took me a little while as I would just dip into it every now and again when I needed a laugh, And it IS a funny book, though a bit dated it was originally published in, Though I think it would be grand to live with a cougar named Pussycat and a small pack of wolves, I can't say I've a burning or should I say "freezing" urge to move to the middleofnowhereCanada to do it.
If nothing else, this book is definitely a testimony to love that Douglas and his wife managed to stay together through their crazy, snowy adventure.
I was always a voracious reader and read everything Jack Douglas wrote the summer between freshman and sophomore year in high school, I just loved it all, He is a great comedy writer and if you enjoy ridiculous situations and just plain fun, you will enjoy all of Douglas' stories, I hadn't thought about them in a long time and then ran across his books at a yard sale, . . trying to find them all now just so I can reread them all these years later, This was a riot! I could soooo rlate to some of the stories of isolation and living in a new environment, Pipe down and padlock the basement!
Zip it and facilitate a group terapy session!

They encounter moose, bear, wolves, and grouchy old people, A short, enjoyable read if you are looking for something quick that will give you a good laugh, I recommend this book for these reasons, Good fun read I found this on my Grandmother's book shelf when I was in grade, . . I read it at school on my breaks, It was a one room Christian School in a Southern Baptist church in my home town of Winnipeg, The pastor took the liberty of poking round in my desk, to find out what was so interesting that I was reading, . . he then pointed out all the "dirty parts" that at that point in my life had gone right over my head, . . I could only remember the ridiculous humor like the kids who were playing Russian Roulette with a bow and arrow, . . he took out a wooden paddle, and had me assume the position, he paddled my ass, then sent me out the back of the church with the custodian, who burned it in front of me, in a barrel.
