The review I chose is quite a detailed review that analyses Annie Proulx's work in depth commenting on the style of her writing as "unrelentingly gritty, fashioned by a compassionate and exceptionally skilled observer." It is quite a personal review as the writer Thea Davis uses first person narrative to describe how she feels towards the book, " I understood: that each character's voice is truly hers; that she has an enormous amount to say; and that I would be greatly enriched by listening."
I think the review is quite informative as in the Thea Davis opens up her review to the descriptions of what the book is like and about followed by her own personal opinions of what she took and learnt from the book.

Yes this review is very descriptive and I agree that with the reviewer that the characters in "Close Range" really are the voices of Annie Proulx.
I also like how she describes the book as "It is an album of love stories, but in this anthology -- instead of the usual hero and heroine -- the lover is the author and the adored is the State of Wyoming where she lives."
