The Ride Home by Jon Olson is a study of choices - how a couple of bad decisions can lead you down a path of destruction - a path of no return.  We follow the footsteps of a man who makes a stupid mistake, and then proceeds to compound it by making even more foolish errors in judgment, until he has cornered himself into an untenable position - one from which he can see no escape.The writing flows effortlessly; descriptions are neither too wordy nor too sparse.  Mr. Olson is adept at relating events with unique insight, creating images that give a clear picture of what is happening, what the character is feeling, the mood, the tone of the setting.I enjoyed the book immensely and I hope this author continues to write - he's a winner!
