A remarkable journey for the self!

Seeing as I took one of Gabriel's creative writing classes and he is one of the coolest guys on the planet - I really wanted to love this. Let me also add the fact that I absolutely did love Native Heart.
This was just a little too surreal for me. I read it with a friend and we just kept saying, "Wait, wasn't he just young?" "I thought he was on the beach?" There's definitely some cool stuff in here and the message is one I whole-heartedly agree with, but it just didn't seem very cohesive and I was lost often.
So while I will still be reading other books from Gabriel Horn in the future I can't really recommend this one.

I cannot claim to be impartial, because I am the narrator of this audiobook. I can honestly say, however, that it was a great pleasure and an even greater honor to have been selected to bring this sacred and moving work to life in audio form.
On the face of things, this book is a collection of short stories contained within a overarching master narrative. But in paying attention to the subtle threads that weave all of the novel's parts together, one can see it as a multi-dimensional mobius strip of thought, feeling, and spirit. I hope others enjoy it as much as I have. (I will leave it to others to comment upon the quality of my narration.)

Note that the audiobook should be available on Audible.com by May 8, 2013, and will be available on Amazon and iTunes a few weeks after that.

More than just a collection of short stories from a modern Native American perspective. The stories are held together by an overarching master narrative that wonderfully weaves everything into a multidimensional mobius strip of thought, feeling, and spirit. (It does get into some intense themes, including genocide and even nuclear holocaust, so parental discretion might be advisable.)

Just not my kind of read/listen. I had a hard time following the story. The reader does a good job of changing his tone with the characters but the story just wasn't anything I enjoy.
