Final paragraph of Up Country:
"The journey home is never a direct route; it is, in fact, always circuitous, and somewhere along the way, we discover that the journey is more significant than the destination, and that the people we meet along the way will be traveling companions of our memories forever."

What is the quote on the last page of Demille's Up Country, I finished the book and donated it to the library and now am racking my brain trying to remember it, anybody out there know it?
Thanks!

I don't get it...I just read my first DeMille book last week..Plum Island.John Cory was a widow,who's wife was shot by the bad guys that shot him also.. having an affair with "Beth". I just read "Night Fall, John Cory was divorced,his ex wife's name was "Robin" remarried to a woman named "Kate"..am I missing something? The end he called brilliant..what about opening up horrible new wounds with his novel for the families of TWA flight 800??I knew someone on that flight, a young girl in high school... No answers, just a lot of B.S.in order to write a book. Also... what's up with not being able to find the "Hispanic's" that shot him, they are always mentioned... then... niente!

I'd like a honest vote, raise of hands how many of you would pick up a book on werewolves, vampires, magicians or cupid.

I read Word of Honor, couldn't put it down. The Book ended abruptly(paper back)at page 710,Daniel Kelly on the stand, then started again with chapter 1 to 4. Never saw the ending.How frustrating is that.!!!What happened????

Just for clarification, as a British person, I'm not aware that British people say 'premiss', we too say 'premise'. My Oxford English Dictionary quotes: premise N & v/premis/1. Logic = premiss. Not sure what that means.
As far as I'm aware, the book isn't out yet in the UK, normally love Nelson's books and have bought most of them. Going by the reviews here, and almost reading between the lines in his newsletters, not sure I'll bother with this one, wait until it's available in the local library.

The book was a great disappointment to me...as my expectations waiting two years for a DeMille novel weren't worth the wait. The British say premiss we say premise but no matter how you slice it that was the failure. The story line that didn't hold water in the biggest stretch undid al of Nelsons get humor and cleverness. It made me feel he didn't have this book in him but was forced to come up with something. I guess eating took precident over talent. I hope DeMille does not go the way of Patterson JUST CHURN EM OUT.This from a critic who thinks Gold Coast, The Generals Daughter, Word Of Honor, and Up Country amoung his best reads of all time.
