Title: More spirit than geography
Review: When I read this book my expectations were high and remained on that level for the first 20 pages. After that I realized this book is less a realistic description of what life in the plains is like but appears to be the authors personal point of view on religion. She mixes up subjective opinions, religious terms and a pseudo-sophisticated, yet more symbolic language that destroys any kind of pleasure that one might find reading this. The description of harsh climate, life in lonesome, empty spaces is realistic but its nothing innovative that one wouldnt know about without reading this book. I think this opus might be interesting to read for everyone living in rural Dakota but to everyone else it is nothing but a mix of bible quotes, simple facts and personal experience as to be found in every issue of National Geographic (except the religious part...).
