I read it back in June and I'm really looking forward to the discussion!
I was really looking forward to reading this book based on the fact that it has tribal information in it. I have had a difficult time sticking with this book. I have not given up on it, and I will finish it, but I guess I was looking for more in depth domestic violence material at this time. If I had just picked this book up as a "read", I would probably enjoyed it more. Unfortunately I had a preconceived notion of what I was reading it for, and it hasn't met those expectations.
I haven't been able to finish this book. There was a scene in a cave and I couldn't go past. I didn't want to know. But I might go read the spoilers just to see at some point.
Loved this book. Read it through a book club. Couldn't put it down. Read it 3 times. I loved the way the character updates and the 'end' of the book is weaved throughout the story. It creatively tells you the end as you start it.
I loved the fact it wasn't just a whodunit, but a story that introduces you to a culture, a way of thinking. A way of coping. Loved the spiritual aspect of it. Loved the ghosts and the tales from Moonshum (sp?). Great book
What do you think about this pick? Any initial thoughts or reactions to share?
The rest of our discussion questions will be posted soon - stay tuned!
