5.0 out of 5 stars Funny and Moving, Jan 2 2001
By Lissa (Washington, DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: People of the Lakes (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read many of the "People of" books, and this is so far, my favorite. The book follows Otter, a trader, Black Skull, a Warrior, Green Spider, a spiritual man, Pearl, a runaway and Star Shell, the beautiful daughter of a cheif, as they quest in pursuit of a the Many-Colored Crow's mask. The book is filled with beautiful descriptions, and fabulous dialogue. I started the book on a plane, and didn't want to put it down. I like to try and guess what's going to happen in a story, and in this case, the story line kept me guessing right up until the very end. And, most importantly, this book was very historically accurate. This is a great read, especially for those people who are interested in Native American cultures.

5.0 out of 5 stars A strange boat crew makes for great entertainment., Oct 9 2000
By A. Tresca - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: People of the Lakes (Mass Market Paperback)
The longest novel of the series so far, this one is undoubtedly my favorite. Set in the pre-historic Great Lakes region, the story follows the Trader, Otter, and his strange crew of a woman fleeing her past, a warrior with a secret, and a holy man known as a Contrary. A spiritual leader like a Dreamer, the Contrary sees the world with such clarity that he does everything backwards. Often frustrating to the people around him, the Contrary makes for some raucous humor as the quartet make their way through the Great Lakes. Traveling through strange lands, they encounter peoples and places that they had only heard about in legends and myths. At the end of their often dangerous and ever entertaining journey they must all confront their destinies.
