Relation Toward Books Rattlesnake
A drifter since his teens, Jimmy Dorsett has no home and no hope. What he does have is a duffel bag, a lot of stories, and a junker car. Then one cold desert night he picks up a hitchhiker and ends up with something more: a letter from a dying man to the son he hasn’t seen in years.On a quest to deliver the letter, Jimmy travels to Rattlesnake, a small town nestled in the foothills of the California Sierras. The centerpiece of the town is the Rattlesnake Inn, where the bartender is handsome former cowboy Shane Little. Sparks fly, and when Jimmy’s car gives up the ghost, Shane gets him a job as handyman at the inn.
Both within the community of Rattlesnake and in Shane’s arms, Jimmy finds an unaccustomed peace. But it can’t be a lasting thing. The open road continues to call, and surely Shane—a strong, proud man with a painful past and a difficult present—deserves better than a lying vagabond who can’t stay put for long.

**** 4.5 Stars****This was beautiful. It's hard to explain but it felt like an old movie, soundless but rich in its essence and moreover, meaningful and deep. The writing is quite magical, it conveys an aura of tranquility and at times it diffuses with a melancholy tone but it only adds authenticity to the story. Rattlesnake was such a unique read!I really liked it."You got stuff in your life needs fixin', you gotta fix it now, while you can." Rattlesnake is a former gold mining town, a peaceful place with ranches, two Chinese restaurants, heavenly french toast with blueberry topping served at Mae's Café, a cemetery where the infamous Rattlesnake Murray is buried, and a bar called the Snake. The Snake is where Shane works. Shane is scarred and walks with a limp, but he's not broken, far from it. Shane's brain may be a little scrambled, but he knows a
Audio 4 starsStory 3.75 starsThis book ended on a such high emotional note that left me tempted give it 5 stars. But I cant, because the beginning was so slow and frankly, kind of boring. I was almost at 40% before I started enjoying it. Ill admit, without the audio, I probably would have dnf, and that would have been a shame. I would have missed out on what turned out to be beautiful story. Jimmy is 43 and has been homeless since the age of 14. His home life, when he had one, wasnt a loving
2.5 starsThe good: The townspeople, Aunt Belinda, the old geezers on the bench Jimmys gradual settling in and putting down roots despite himself; his satisfaction with working at the inn.The not-good: The emo-porn of Shanes list of defects Why/what with hunky Officer Random at the beginning? Sister Charlie the relationship cop and Saintly Mom the compassion cop Sofisticada lesbiana The eye-twitching: The heavy-handed dun-dun-DUN foreshadowing Jesse and his accompanying (in my head) ominous theme
I really loved this book. There was a maturity, and an honesty to the storytelling that I really appreciated. The characters were well drawn, and felt like real people to me, and while they all had their problems it didn't feel over done or like misery porn. Many events were only touched on, or hinted at, and I liked that. It kept the story from dwelling too much in the past when it really was a story about moving on. A story about love, forgiveness, and learning to love, and be loved in return.
Re-read December, 2015 I chose this book, my favorite of 2015, to read while ringing in the new year in my pajamas with my dogs snuggled up to me. The problem was that I re-read the whole book so quickly, now I need to find another book to read for my New Year's Eve! *scratches head*LOVE LOVE LOVE! This book is my 2015 perfection.ORIGINAL REVIEW:Rattlesnake has taken over the position of my favorite book of 2015. I absolutely fucking LOVED it. It's on my favorites and fuck yeah, 5+ stars shelves
