Negative Positive
Title: Fascinating tale
Review: This was one of my best books of the year for 2003. I bought it the first week it came out and finished it in 24 hours. It is wonderful. I see so much written in these reviews about Ada Blackjack and not as much about Jennifer Niven, so I just want to take the opportunity to commend Ms. Niven on her writing. Not only is Ada Blackjack a well researched and documented story of nonfiction, but it reads like a novel. I was able to get inside the characters in a way that I'm not always able to when reading nonfiction. It is obvious that Jennifer Niven cares about her characters, and because of that the reader does too. Her writing is compelling and rich and she captures the voice of each character vividly. In the end, I felt they had told me their story and not the other way around. I wish more books were able to do this successfully.
Is the review positive or negative?
