Excellent and Traditional

This book is an excellent way to learn about a time frame little known by archeaologists. Though fiction, it gives hint to some of the best theories running about today with the archaeologists. I highly recommend this book and all of Linda Lay Shuler's books to take a look into our prehistoric past.

this is one of the best books ive ever read

well, where to start. i read this book for the first time about 4 years ago. it was the first book of linda's that i had read. it is really quite funny, i started with the last book in the series and i liked it so much i had to read more so i went to the local library and all they had was the second book so i actually read backwards through the series and now i am reading them forward. no matter how many times i read them i never get sick of them. they are the most interesting books i've ever read. i really got into these books, espeacially let the drum speak. it was the first one i read am i could not put it down, it completely captivated me. i actually felt like i was the main character. I cried when she cried and felt angy when she did. i really loved this book and i really suggest reading it for your self. It is truly moving.~laura~

The Best

I really enjoyed your book and bought one for my 14 year old niece for her birthday - she is an avid reader and completed the book from start to finish without putting it down. She wanted to know when the next book would be out, I re-assured her that when it does I will be the first in line to buy two. I am a Navajo woman with two models, should you ever need models for your book, give us a call. I will get your address and mail you some photos. Thanks for writing about Native people. Call me at 702-870-1471 or email me. I look forward to our contact. May the Great Spirits bless you in a very good way.

A moving and heart rending novel

Having just finnished this book when i really should have been writing my thesis all i can say is that heck i'm glad i did!! After tentative beginnings i began to wonder weather the novel would hold up without Kwani the previous main character, but it developed into truly one of the best books i have ever read. I laughed and cried but above all i was swept back to that ancient and sometimes savage world with such ease. i could not put this book down and when i finnished it i did so with a great sadness that no further novel awaits me to carry on the saga. Escapist maybe, but truly a magnificent sweeping saga of immense magnitude...Read it!!
