I went into this knowing it was a fabrication.
At first I thought that that and the absolutely needless and disgusting sexualisation of an 11-year-old boy were a shame, because I enjoyed the writing style in itself. But I quickly grew sick of that too, especially the rhymes at the end of each chapter. When the author (I forget his real name) uses them to try to make a profound point it only cheapens the effect. The very last chapter might be an exception to that - but he still spoils it with the pithy last paragraph.
I knew I shouldn't have bothered, and I don't know why I did.

This may be the mist beautiful and touching book I have ever read. Buy a big box of tissues before you even crack the cover.

I really liked the beginning of this book, being Hispanic, I was seeking to have a better perspective into what it is like to be Native American. This book tells a great story but after the first chapter, I was struggling to want to continue reading. The writing is so broken, it is like a long poem. The author isn't even Native American, just pretending to be. I couldn't finish the book, the connection was lost.
