Extra copy for trade/release.

Wow, what a surprise! This book arrived in the mail yesterday. I'm so excited to have it! Thank you so much ghir!! You are so kind and generous! I owe you one!

I loved this book even if it is as bipolar as I am. One minute I'm laughing, and the next I'm crying, and by another page or two, I'm laughing again. This is one of those books that everybody should read as it says a lot about a whole slew of important subjects, both directly and indirectly. Just don't read it without a box of tissues handy.

Sending this off to HI77. Hope you enjoy it!

a mile long,
filled with the dust of stories.

You know, I'd heard good things about this book a long time ago but never did get around to finding a copy.

I'm not sure what I expected from it, but the writing was a lot more simple than I had been expecting. This didn't turn out to be a bad thing. It was a book that kept things moving and so there was always something interesting going on or was to be happening soon.

Plus, even thought the story was always in motion, he was still flushing out characters as he went along. Not that they really became full fledged but enough to give the story some body.

There was some stereo typing. Some would be true enough, others stretched reality. He probably did this on both sides, for the Indian life as well as the 'white school'. So of it definitely fell into fantasy and some of it was to coincidental to be do anything but roll my eyes at.

But when all was said and done, I had fun with it and enjoyed the story. He's a wonderful story teller. Thumbs up!

Well, I read this book awhile ago actually.

So it's long since time that it was sent on it's way! ;)
