There were times that it was interesting but then it just lacked. The novel wasn’t intriguing enough to allow the reader to keep reading, it became boring at times.

This story has some interesting themes:
Colonization
Devastation of the landscape
Effects of boarding school
Traditional vs. Contemporary world
The only problem is that Owens does not engage me as an author. This is one of the texts that the "Canon" says is a must-read American Indian text. Perhaps it is, but there has been a lot written since that is much better.
But if this was a book you enjoyed, I recommend Wind from an Enemy Sky by D'Arcy McNickle. It has similar themes and if you enjoyed this, I think that Wind might actually be more engaging.
