5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly crafted mystery, Jun 14 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Shaman's Moon: A Stoner McTavish Mystery (Paperback)
Again Dreher brings us to a place where we discover new worlds and a deep respect and love for our own creative powers and those of the larger realm. Shaman's Moon won the LAMBDA literary award this year for best lesbian mystery and it is a richly deserved honor. Finally, a book is honored that explores more than our sexual side. It must be her work as a clinical psychologist that enhances her compassion and empathy for her characters. This book is several cuts above the rest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Alternative Empowerment, Jan 10 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Shaman's Moon: A Stoner McTavish Mystery (Paperback)
Sarah Dreher is one of the most well-intended authors I have read. Every novel presents us with endearing lesbian role models and situations that promote the healing and empowering of the lesbian psyche. For some, this novel could offend because that very empowerment comes at the expense of Jesus Christ and born-again Christians, but this is intentional and perhaps necessary. The novel's power comes from the splicing of female-friendly psychology and religion onto the campfire ghost story. Maybe Dreher falls short by replacing religious scepticism with shamanistic belief, but there is no godless alternative that's any less a matter of belief as she so well demonstrates in Stoner's inner struggles.

1.0 out of 5 stars DISAPPOINTING, Nov 9 2007
By quilter4 "quilter4" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Shaman's Moon: A Stoner McTavish Mystery (Paperback)
I bought this because I'd really enjoyed other books by Dreher, and I was anticipating a fun read. However, the story (such as it was) quickly disintegrated into ersatz-spiritual confusion. The plot was threadbare, action lacking or unlikely, and characters (whom I'd liked in previous books) barely 2-dimensional. I read the whole book, but found it so stupid that I dumped it in the trash -- not even worth passing on to someone else for free. Quasi-mystical garbage. Save your money.
