Negative Positive
Title: An American classic.
Review: This book cannot fairly be reviewed in such a small space. I just want to assure anyone who stumbles on it here and sees "Little Big Man" classified as a Western novel: this is not Louis L'Amour territory! This is one of the funniest, most heart-rending stories ever concocted using historical fact and brilliantl imagination; Berger gives the reader some idea of what it must have been like to live in the American West during the submission of the Plains Indian tribes, and doesn't spare our feelings in the process. Not that it's a diatribe. LBM is a novel, first and foremost a wonderful read. It also happens to be one of the few great novels made into a great movie -- one suspects because of Dustin Hoffman's obsession with "getting it right"
Is the review positive or negative?
