Summary

The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah is a story about a family in crisis and a young girl struggling to survive in the edge of the world-Alaska. Moving from one place to another has become normal for Leni Allbright and her mother Cora. Enrt, Leni’s father was a POW of the Vietnam war after which the family kept shifting their base. Moving to Alaska was an extreme decision for the thirteen-year-old Leni and her family. They move to Alaska and get a warm welcome. Ernt is looking for isolation but Leni wants to explore and enjoy her new home-Alaska.

At first, the family finds their new home nice due to the 18 hour long sunlit summer days and the hospitality fo the locals. However, the winters are harsh and the family was afraid of running out of resources. The continuous dark of the winter has an adverse impact on Ernt. He starts becoming more paranoid and unpredictable. The family finds the dangers within their house much more grave than the dangers of the outside world. The family reaches their breaking point.

Leni has a growing relationship with her neighbor Matthew Walker. Ernt learns about it and does not take it nicely. Over the years, the choices which each one of them will make will shape their future some for good and others for worse. The family will also learn the truth that other Alaskan residents learn- they are on their own in this wilderness and there is no one to save them this far from the world.

Review

The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah received critical acclaim from the critics and the readers. The author masterly depicts multi-layered love stories in the novel. The love story between Ernt and Cora, the new blooming love between Leni and Matthew and the love which Leni has for her family. The characters are so well developed and detailed that the readers will instantly form a bond with them.

The narrative is simple yet powerful and drives the story forward. It is an epic story of human survival and a family tested beyond its endurance. This is a truly unputdownable novel and a definite pageturner. It is a lovely and fantastic novel which should not be missed.

I found 'The Great Alone' to be extremely frustratingly implausible, to the point of being offensive. Apart from Marge, Tom, and Matthew, there were hardly any characters that I could genuinely connect with. "Mama" was complicit in child abuse and prioritized her own self-centered interests over her daughter's well-being. Even more disappointing was Lenny, who bizarrely idolized her selfish mother as some kind of admirable figure. Although there are still 20 minutes left, I've decided that I've endured enough of this audiobook.

The concept of the story is amazing, but the constant, tedious descriptions go on and on (and on and on). The person who reads the audiobook is not enjoyable to listen to. All the voices of the characters sound identical. It would have been preferable if she simply narrated without attempting to portray different characters. I did not find pleasure in this book and couldn't even complete it.

It's just way too lengthy and the storyline is quite predictable. As someone who has a deep admiration for Alaska, I was really looking forward to delving into "The Great Alone" considering how much I adored "The Nightingale".

I'm a huge fan of this writer and have devoured nearly all of her works. Naturally, I didn't hesitate to purchase this one. However, I must admit I was left feeling quite let down. As I read on, I held onto the hope that the story would improve, but unfortunately, it just kept going in circles, repeating similar situations. The predictability of it all was disheartening, and the unsettling nature of the storyline caught me off guard. I should have been more cautious and read the book's synopsis beforehand, even though it was penned by a beloved author. Lesson learned.

I was up all night, completely engrossed in the characters and their stories, and even in this place that I never really paid attention to before... but now it's haunting my dreams. Appreciate it, fam. Calling out all the moms, make sure to have your tissues ready.

I absolutely adored The Nightingale and had such high hopes for The Great Alone. However, I found it to be excessively lengthy, overly gloomy, and frequently foreseeable.

I honestly don't get why everyone is raving about this book. I'm a huge fan of Kristin Hannah and absolutely adored The Nightengale, so I had high hopes for The Great Alone. However, I found myself getting lost in the meandering storyline that seemed to lack direction. I don't want to spoil anything, but I kept waiting for some sort of exciting plot twist or significant event, and it never came. Moreover, the characters felt predictable and lacking depth, which made it hard for me to stay engaged.

'The Great Alone' was a challenging listen, to say the least. The predictable plot, predictable character behavior, and the irritating narration got on my nerves to the point where I couldn't bear to listen any longer. Needless to say, I quickly returned it.

In 'The Great Alone', readers are confronted with a series of harrowing events that unfold with meticulous descriptions. These occurrences seem to multiply, dominating a significant portion of the narrative. Unfortunately, this book brings about a sense of unhappiness and discomfort, as it reads like a young adult novel without being explicitly categorized as such. Rather regretfully, I deeply regret picking it up and will grapple through the remaining two hours. It might be best to stick with 'The Nightingale' and steer clear of this particular book.

Still getting over a book hangover from The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. I've been waking up in the night thinking about it. I was finishing it on a plane, crying, trying to discretely dab at my eyes so the lady next to me wouldn't think I was a weirdo.

I am reading The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah. Loving it! I just finished The Last Equation of Isaac Severy. I went to SD years ago and the presenter encouraged us to write down every book we read. I've been doing it for 5 years. So, if you need recs, let me know!
