I can't believe that so many people rave about this book. I found it to be tediously painful to read. Trudge, trudge, trudge; bad thing happens. Trudge, trudge, trudge; bad thing happens. I admit that it took tremendous strength and courage to live through all that happened. It just was all so depressing. Thom's writing is cliche strewn and his Native Americans are portrayed as if they are straight out of a 50's western. I read this book because it was recommended by several relatives. I bought a few Thom books, read this one and got rid of all the others because I thought this was so poorly written.
