The way the book was written, it could pass as an autobiography. Good job on the author's part and thanks for the thorough review. Unfortunately, I'm not that interested about life in Colorado.

I like adventures but this book didn't click. I would look for more recommendations before reading this book.

Great review. I love reading books about different adventure and places I can't be able to go to. I'll read and imagine myself in Colorado

This is a second book that talks about fly fishing. I think it is time I googled it. Thanks for a good review. Summed it up very nicely.

I actually loved the blurb I read and the review enhances it. But I think the rich vocabulary and the classic references might be and issue for children . I loved how the review has covered everything .

Thw book described a childhood full of beauty and wonder where common experiences are elevated to adventures, and the mundane becomes an opportunity for learning and growth. There is such a sweetness about the story and its characters,

This is a wonderful book about coming of age but not my cup of tea. The setting is wonderfully described and encourages readers to read more about it. Great job for the author.

I first encountered Morning is always Nigh by John Wickersham as Book of the Day on Sept. 3, 2018. I am impressed by the affection the lead character, Danny Gray, has for his life in Colorado, close to the nature and amid the mountains and the great outdoors. A happy childhood, pride of place and a strong connection to nature and environment were the three big ideas I got out of the book three months ago. A great childhood or wonderful moments in our childhood are memories that would have a positive impact on us throughout our lives. In times of crises, we cling to them as a source of strength and inspiration.

Wickersham wrote an upbeat fiction about loving your place on earth. I wrote last September: "I'm struck by the joy, passion and enthusiasm of Danny Gray for his life in Colorado and his childhood in the great outdoors, among the mountains, the rivers and everything that exist in nature. Danny Gray is so connected to nature that it defined his lifestyle and shaped his life and view of it. While we usually read about the alienation, disconnection, escapism and introverted lives of many among the young, we encounter the Grays in this book, healthy, energetic and adventurous, fully appreciative of their place and surroundings. How many of us have a happy remembrance of our childhood?" Aside from the lives of the Grays. Wickersham takes the opportunity in his book to talk about nature. Congratulations to Mr. Wickersham for Morning is Always Night becoming the Book of the Day Again.

Thank you for this review, John. I could already picture the adventures described in the book simply by going through the review! Lovers of nature and the outdoors would certainly enjoy reading this book. The author does a great job depicting the intrigues of a typical Colorado family - the good, the bad and the ugly. A wholesome book for entertaining read.

Indeed a pleasurable read for the youth. The moral lesson learned and the adventure is a plus. Good work done by the author and a good review.

Thank you for the great review. The story start prepares a reader for storytelling and your review confirms that the author has done a good job at it. Though telling at one place that author have done an ok job at something and later paragraph telling that you really liked that part seems contradiction.

By reading this review it is my observation that this book consists of several adventures and strange events. Mountain and hilly areas are described as their tour here. So it is a source of a lot of enjoyment. Thanks for your review.

I was captured by the sample of the book but reading this review made it more appealing. The writing style of both the author and the reviewer were captivating. I think it's very appropriate for the Holiday season.

Aside from Danny Grays's story, I would enjoy the beautiful depiction of the Colorado region. The popularity of the region for outdoor activities, such as picnicking, will also attract me to read this book. Thanks for your enjoyable review.
