300 Rains
Geoff Greenfelder's discovery should have changed his life by rocketing him up the ladder of academia . Instead, it changed his life in ways he never could have imagined. After partaking in a sacred ceremony by the Amazonian tribe he discovered, everything in his life changes, including his very own body. What should have been an occasion for joy becomes a trauma Geoff must work through. His only hope for returning his life back to normal is finding the answers that lie in unraveling the mysteries of the tribe before he can return to it.

a wee bit wordy but lovely nonetheless
The narrative is wonderful. Somewhat lengthy dialogue and introspection drained a bit of energy but the pulse of the story drove the narrative to a pleasant ending. A fun read. I would hear more of Melanie’s journey.

I struggled with this book at first. The writing style did get better further in the second half (or I became more used to it), but it drove me nuts at the beginning. I almost abandoned the read which I rarely ever do.
It's hard to explain what's wrong with the style, but it has a elementary school quality to it in places--like the author is struggling to explain in a way the reader can understand. It is also full of redundancies and unnecessary elaborations. The pace is also slow at first (speeds up later in the book as many do) which accentuates the writing style issues.
Despite all of that, I really liked the plot and story. The transgendering of the main character was approached in an interesting way. In fact, it I would have easily given it 5 star if the writing style hadn't been such a distraction.
Note that there is very little erotic content in this book. Topic aside, it's almost PG rated.

Primitives not so primative
Lost Amazon tribe more advanced than us so called moderns even though at first glance they seemed to be Paleolithic hunter gatherers. Our protagonist may have numerous degrees, but is schooled by the village to what is important in life. The story ended with no conclusion on does the Mother really exists a d if not the villagers must be clairvoyant.

An unusual plot, but a great story takes you places you've never been and never expected to go. A good read, well written.
