Title: Real and honest characters
Review: Many readers are familiar with the comfort (and sometimes discomfort) that comes from recognizing oneself or a friend or relative in a story. Mohawk was full of such recognizable characters for me. And the characters who I couldn't relate to made me grateful about it. Russo has created a wonderfully real, and sometimes gritty story here full of lines that demand to be re-read to be fully appreciated. The moment when we find out what/who caused "Wild Bill" to be the way he is is very powerful. This is one of those books that you don't want to stop reading, yet you stop yourself if only to prolong the enjoyment for another day.
