The Book Review: Winter's Bone by Daniel Woodrell was published by Mel Odom on July 16, 2010. Mel Odom is a writer who has written over one hundred novels including the famous Tomb Raider. In his review he points out how he can relate to Ree -- the main character-- because he grew up in Oklahoma and knows about the meth problem there. Odom also informs the readers that Winter's Bone is a depressing book and can cause emotional feed back.

In response to the article, I would have to say it was written alright for a review. There were a few places that needed some editing but overall I got the main idea. Odom gets to the point quickly and gives good suggestions on how to go about reading other Woodrell books. This article is a simple one that can be used to support my thesis on how the author put a little bit of himself into the book making it more personal and emotional to readers. For example; Ree wished to join the military and Woodrell was once in the Marines. So this emotional feed back from a fellow writer is light proof that Woodrell's writing style related to his own ambitions and made it very real to us readers.
