Well, Omri is a murderer. Yay! He's feeling the consequences of being a god. He's also learning that Little Bear is a little tyrant: he wants what he wants when he wants it.

Omri is taking Little Bear to school in his pocket. WTF? Being a retired adolescent boy, the worst place to keep anything is your pocket. All it takes is for Omri to graze the school bus headrest and LB will be bloody gut squash, or at least, have a dozen broken bones. Regardless, if Little Bro were in my pocket, he'd end up in the washing machine.

You bring to life a three inch plastic indian, causing all kinds of shit to go sideways. Naturally, the next logical step is to bring to life a three inch cowboy. The deductive reasoning of adolescent boys is uncanny... meaning stupid.

That reminded him -- where was the horse? He looked around in a fright. But he soon saw it, trying forlornly to eat the carpet. "I must get it some grass," thought Omri, meanwhile offering it a small piece of stale bread, which it ate gratefully, and then some water in a tin lid. It was odd how the horse was not frightened of him. Perhaps it couldn't see him very well. -- LRB

If you could bring a plastic object to life, who or what would it be? I know who I'd bring to life... and it's a very bad idea.

I knew you were joking. The movie is awful! Of course, when is it not?
Ive only seen the movie. I do have the book.Is the book much different? I always 98% of the time love the book more than the movie.
Hey Lesle; I guess the guy that left comments above deleted his posts, so it looks like I've been talking to myself... I don't know, maybe I imagined him. But yeah, the book is rich with detail, and it's a homage to Native Americans. The whole series is well done; I'm revisiting them with a buddy. The movie is absolute garbage.
Haha!!That is really good to know!! Im glad it respects the Native Americans well. I did not realize it was a series. I will look into that!
Thanks :)
I'll add that there are a lot of ignorant reviews about this book, simply because the vernacular doesn't fit the present. Golda Meir said it best: "One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.”
