    A "SWEET' read from start to almost finish!
  

*by W***E on Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2017*

Until the last 35 pages or so I was ready to rate this book with 5 stars, but the ending disappointed me. The author could have done better, as I think he was fatigued by his own story. I guess I expected more than witnessing Sweetland, one of the most interesting, colorful characters I have come across in recent literature, just fade away into a state of reverie about the past with no chance of any future for him on or away from his eponymous island. This is a novel with setting (you'll feel like you are part of the Newfoundland island scene...it's that good), characterization (and not just Sweetland but so many others as well), plot, language (Mr Crummy knows his dialect) and humor (there are some laugh out loud lines and anecdotes). It is not a happy read but despite the failed ending in my personal view, it did not leave me saddened except for the fact that a way of life was coming to end. This book is literary novel writing at its very best, and I highly recommend it. I myself now want to read more from this author.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Good Read for his Descriptions
  

*by W***R on Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2020*

the harsh Newfoundland weather.  Crummey is at his best when describing Newfoundland's natural world. This is the third book I've read from Mr. Crummey. I like The Innocents the best. I wish he had included some kind of map of the Sweetland community so I could visualize how the various houses and buildings were related to one another. I also had difficulty figuring out some of the human relationships, particularly those involving Pilgrim and Jesse. This is a book that can be a bit hard to follow if you don't read from it everyday. Crummey's main problem is that he doesn't really offer an ending to his novels. He simply stops writing without really concluding. Had Sweetland had a better conclusion I would have given it four stars. Even so, it's well worth reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    This was a terrific, unusual book.
  

*by T***P on Reviewed in the United States on January 21, 2015*

So, nothing much goes on in Sweetland, Newfoundland, right?  Wrong!  The author gets us to understand the limited life the folks on the island live, their small and large grievances and sorrows and who's really close to whom.  The characterization is very good and some of the relationships deep.  Everything changes when the government wants to reclaim the island, and former friends become enemies, and enemies find new reasons to care about someone.  This book really searches the souls of those who think they can't leave, after a life there and nowhere else, and those who are ready to pick up and go.  And, there are some surprises.  Enjoy!
