Five pages into this book and I was hooked. I picked up the paperback the day it was released (I didn’t like the size of the hardcover so I waited for the paperback). Eventually I picked up the book and read the inside flap for a bit of an idea on the book I was starting to come around to the possibility of this being a good book. I had this thought in my head wondering if this book was chosen because of his stature in the Canadian media or because of the subject matter. When the 2009 Giller Prize short-list, and later the winner, was announced I was very skeptical. MacIntyre is definitely no stranger to the Canadian public. He has made quite the journey from his small town roots in Capre Breton starting out as a reporter for The Chronicle Herald in Halifax and now acting as a co-host on CBC’s The Fifth Estate Mr. Winner of nine Gemini awards for his broadcast journalism work. Linden MacIntyre: one of Canada’s most respected journalists. Winner of the 2010 Canadian Booksellers Association Libris Fiction Book of the Yearįinalist for the 2010 Thomas Head Raddall Atlantic Fiction Award Winner of the 2010 Atlantic Independent Booksellers’ Choice Award
