Reply To: What did you think of “The Grey Wolf” and why?

Did you mean this quote Angie? “In many ways, in every way that mattered, feelings were more real, more powerful than thoughts. They were the engine of perception, which drove thought, which became words and prompted action.” I noted it down because I liked it. I also had a niggling feeling about Gamache. He seemed more vulnerable and he made some big mistakes that seemed to arise from his emotions. Not only did he let his anger at Caron cloud his judgement but he also missed vital clues with Charles because he was caught up in his own memories. Are these lapses because of age? Because of all his past trauma? I think LP did make us question what’s going on purposefully to put us even more on edge of our seats and in doubt. It’s interesting that you bring up Jean-Guy because I thought he is taking care of Gamache a fair bit more in small ways and big. Even though Gamache may be at a low point where we leave off, I hope (and believe) he’ll get back up on his feet but I think he’ll need all the help he can get from his friends and family.
