Did not finish at 45%
Accidentally checked this book out while figuring out how to use Overdrive and decided to read it. After seeing some misspellings of things in/near my hometown and finding myself increasingly uncomfortable with Winchester's tone when talking about indigenous people, I decided I didn't want to finish this book. It's a shame because I usually like his books!
