Tremendous

Revisado: 11-10-15

This book is so well researched. I truly feel that the American Indians to this day are the neighbor whose suffering we are ignoring as American citizens. Reading the heartbreaking history of those who were here before us makes me realize why some people are so scared of illegal immigrants, it's because illegal immigrants came here and pushed out the natives. We must do better, we must somehow make things right. I strongly recommend this book to every citizen of the United States. It will change you, it will make you more compassionate and see American from the perspective of those who were here before the white man.

This section from the books sums up much of the problem of what the havoc the white man has brought to this land and its indigenous people.

"The white man adopted two basic approaches ... He systematically excluded blacks from all programmes, policies, social events, and economic schemes ... With the Indian the process was simply reversed ... Indians were ... subjected to the most intense pressure to become white. Laws passed by Congress had but one goal - the Anglo-Saxonization of the Indian... The white man forbade the black to enter his own social and economic system and at the same time force-fed the Indian what he was denying the black. Yet the white man demanded that the black conform to white standards and insisted that the Indian don feathers and beads periodically to perform for him."

Twilight Zone-ish

Revisado: 05-05-15

Fans of the twilight zone are going to enjoy this novel, the first of the trilogy. I don't want to give too much of the book away but there's a pretty great twist at the end. If you like suspenseful Mistry stories with a hint of sci-fi and I think you might enjoy this book.

Scary

Revisado: 03-21-15

It is interesting to me that our beliefs about Hill mostly come not from the Bible or from Christian teaching, but rather from this poem by Dante. It is a truly imaginative and terrifying tale. Abandon hope all who enter here.

A chilling tale

Revisado: 02-10-15

Suspenseful story of a monster, a maiden, and manly man. Fans of Dan Simmons will not want to miss this novel, which is what is best psychological thrillers. Rich with folklore and set in the 1800s with a memorable cast of characters that will kill you to the bone.
