Horror for Newbies
Greg asked this question about There There:
I've enjoyed other books about Native Americans, like "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee". I'm seeing rave, 5-star reviews for "There There". Is it because of the subject, which certainly needs addressing and it would benefit many of us to understand more about Native Americans? Or is it because readers really loved the book itself?
Sylvia I gave it 3 stars. It’s unique and beautifully rendered, but It didn’t weave the stories in a satisfying way. Too many characters and not enough depth…moreI gave it 3 stars. It’s unique and beautifully rendered, but It didn’t weave the stories in a satisfying way. Too many characters and not enough depth. It is already on reading lists and will have staying power because of its unflinching portrayals and poetic passages. Hurts in a way that doesn’t block hope or reinvention. (less)
