Anyone read the sequel to Months of the Sun????

Yes, it is not nearly the book Ian's first book was. If I recall correctly his daughter actually ended up finishing the book and editing it. A disappointing sequel. There was some discussion of the book in the book forum I believe.

Agree not as good but still a good read

I read Footsteps and Months in the Sun out of order. This I mean I read the sequel first. Footsteps is actually repeats a lot of the stories found in Months of the Sun.

However, maybe because I read Footsteps first I did enjoy it.
Particularly, the chapter of shooting elephants with a guy from parks who used a 375 with IN using his 450
No2. Long story short the 375 elephants woke up and needed shot again. Now that I think about it that story may be in Months In the Sun.

I also like enjoyed his daughters eulogy at the end of
Footsteps.

Footsteps did not need to be written all and all. But better than 90 percent of the stuff from this day and age.

Completely different tone, with considerable influence (and passages I believe) from his daughter. After reading Months of the Sun and hearing first-hand stories of IN, I found the book to be somewhat depressing, especially in light of how the last years of his life were spent.

All that said, however, I'm glad I read it and I always think of him when I have the privilege of hearing the wood dove's call.

Did you buy it ?

I bought and read the book.If you read Nyshens's first book it might be impossible not to want to read this book.I can't say I was disappointed because I expected something like this.Still it is worth the read.

I agree with George
