4.0 out of 5 stars Rain Child is everyone's childhood, Dec 26 2002
By 
KatSchool "KitKat" (Stafford Springs, CT United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rain Child (Mass Market Paperback)
I discovered Amanda Cockrell several years ago with the first Deer Hunters trilogy and I couldn't wait to read more of her books--waited impatiently for the next book to come out. She does not disappoint in this trilogy. Her characters are fleshed out and her plots keep me turning the pages. I only hope my success is near hers with my first book, "Forever Retro Blues," and I hope there are many more of her books to read in the future.
Rain Child's adventures and misadventures remind us of of our own childhood and coming-of-age. I think everyone has the experience of not fitting in and then somehow, we end up making it anyway.

4.0 out of 5 stars A unique style of writing., Feb 3 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Rain Child (Mass Market Paperback)
Although I usually get caught up in the relationships between the characters, the descriptions of the surroundings, and the story, (I really like the historical value), I find with Amanda Cokrell's writing a very unique style. I feel like I have just spent the day with an old grandmother telling me some of the old stories. Just the way they were told back then. I'm not always sure whether I am reading a story or poetry.

I really enjoy the different perspective of the Coyote who creates his own story inside the story. How very imaginative!
It definitely warrants a read just to experience this unique journey. In all the books I've read nothing has come close to her style of writing.

After reading this one, I'm now waiting for Amanda's next book. I have all three of the Horse Catchers Trilogy and enjoyed each one.
