Title: Bland and Uninspiring
Review: To read this book the mightiest feat the missionaries accomplished was traversing the geography. I was left with a feeling of "So what?" after finishing this book. Not unlike eating a bag of Doritos for dinner. To read a very very good book on very similar lines, check out "Black Robe" by Brian Moore. Others are "No Other Life" by the same author, "The Power and the Glory" bu Graham Greene; even "Monsignor Quixote" by Graham Greene exhibits more emotion than this flat tale.Perhaps, if you're not Catholic, want an overly scrubbed version of life on the frontier, and don't care about passion in the books you read; this'll do the trick.Willa Cather is a superios sytlist, however. Read the book for how she says something, and not what it is she is saying.
