Book review - "Campbell's Kingdom" by Hammond Innes

 Read this because of the film. Can see its appeal to film producers - sexy rugged setting (Canadian rockies), hooky set up (terminally ill man investigates dead grandfather's obsession with oil), some romance, baddies, a dam burst.

I had trouble telling the characters apart, the chapters were too long, needed more dialogue, Innes shows off his research. But it's not a natural ripping yarn.
