Having enjoyed several of Doig's later novels, I was excited to pick up English Creek, the first of Doig's Montana trilogy. Set in Montana in the 1930s, the story is told through the perspective of Jick McCaskill, a boy on the cusp of being fifteen years old and coming into his own. Unfortunately, I felt the story was filled with way too much detail and moved at a snails pace. There was no climax and no real drama or intriguing moments. While Doig's writing is jaunty and pleasant, this was my least favorite of his books.
