As Norman pointed out, there may be a few points that are reemphasized, or repeated, through the book, but for anyone who has ever found themselves completely drawn into the story "Cold Missouri Waters" tells us or has an interest behind the tale and in the detailed workings of fire in general, I highly recommend the book. I managed to find a copy in audio format, which made the reading all that much more appealing for myself. - -- Jenny Dodd Dallas, Tx. mellow.yellow@techwearz.com "I'm the kid, who has this habit of dreaming, Sometimes gets me in trouble too.
