eh--not-great-but-not-bad
This is a story about a Native American boy's growing up years. It's incredibly written, the author is very talented, and it's gripping and heart wrenching and powerful. The writing is so good that the scenes really come to life, which is wonderful except for some of the scenes I wish I could forget. It's hard to say if those scenes are gratuitous or necessary to the plot, I haven't decided, but they are very vivid. When I think back on the book, it's those scenes I remember and see, which I feel is unfortunate because I know there were some great and inspiring moments as well.
