Reviews

[Clara Roberts · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a pleasant and enjoyable read. This historical read is the account of two boys, one Indian and one white who become blood brothers and meet their fate at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. The story involves the meeting of John Stranger who leads them to Jesus Christ. While there is a presentation of Christianity in the book it is more historical fiction than Christian fiction.

I love history. Having been to the site of the little bighorn, really made this novel come alive for me. I could picture the areas that I had seen and the battles described. It is a foreboding place. Excellent novel

Did not like this book as part of the Stranger series. John seemed to be added in as an afterthought. The story was all about Quiet Stranger and the story of his people.

[B H · Rating 1 out of 5]

This would have been better as a stand alone book. The main character of the series is actually only a part of this book twice.

Great read, but sad

Quiet Thunder is about two different men who are born on the same day, who's mothers become life long friends, & the two men become life long friends as well. One is white and the other is of the Sioux tribe. Quiet Thunder's uncle "Curley" becomes Chief Crazy Horse......the white man grows up and becomes the Indian's hated "blue coat" (soldier). But Quite Thunder & Thane Tyler remain "blood brothers" and when facing one another on the battle field, they cannot fight or kill one another. I won't go any further and spoil the book in case you want to read it. It, too, is one of my favorites in this series. You get a lot of Indian History in this book (some I did not know).
