This book is boring. It is divided into three parts. The author presents three moments in the life of Dell Parsons: his youth and the front hold-up of his parents who will end it sooner than expected, after the hold-up where this young teen finds himself propelled into the Canadian countryside in a man he does not know but the plot, and finally a very short last part of the end of his life (story of how the character has evolved). It would have been worth seeing, but for once, I found it very long and slow. The story is made of descriptions senchaînent, giving importance to things that do not. It is anticipated developments on some characters that never come, no action is very flat. Above all, the title "Canada" seems anecdotal. Certainly, from the second part, Dell went to live in Canada, but it stops there. Everything is going on is not related to that country, it could happen anywhere. We do not really talk about Canadian culture, or "wilderness" as it says in the summary, it describes a wave just tasteless countryside where nothing happens. In short, more than 500 pages for so little, it is not worth the shot. I just finished this book because I thought there would be a revelation or a rebound that never came ...
