Like the characters, especially Falcon's growth and the story is nice to follow.
However there are two things that bother me.
First can't understand how an old man gives details of his and other's sex life to the youngsters listening his story. My grandmother never did it...would you do it?
Secondly the origin of the name emerald comes from the Latin "smaragdus" so how can the Amazon tribes know the name when the Spanish and Portuguese were far from getting to the territory? The author gave it a name which should have been used every time they referred to the stone for it's description was enough to let us know which stone it was.
Nonetheless it's an easy to read book.

Well written and intriguing tale of what might have been over 2,000 years ago. Taking place in the jungles and with people who do not kill for the act of killing and proving their 'manhood' - but for necessity only. These people live their lives always respectful of the jungle life around them, even though a great deal of it is deadly.
Their is family angst, and love, and adventure. Heartache and betrayal. A moving story well worth reading.

Ok. Relied on a formula of story in a story that could really have been eliminated. A strong editor could really have helped this book out. It wasn't bad, just not something to be read more than once.
