Negative Positive
Title: This book is hardly a dream; it is a nightmare.
Review: I simply do not understand why people are going crazy over this book, claiming it has deep meaning and that the character is persecuted and misunderstood. Rather, he is self-centered, foul-mouthed, inconsiderate, and dislikable. He shows disrespect to others and breaks the law for the sake of no one but himself. Worse than that, the reader has to sit through his long descriptions of what he does or has done to make himself more in touch with his rather phony-sounding "Indian identity." But perhaps the worst thing of all, is that this book, while advertised as a story that shines a noble spotlight on the Dakota tribe, does just the opposite, as the tedious and immature narration makes the time-honored traditions of the Indians sound like utter buffoonery. Therefore, if you wish to be spared a period of utter torture, I suggest you do not waste your money on this wretched waste of paper and ink.
