### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    A quick read, but nothing too special...
  

*by B***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 7, 2007*

Mari Sandoz is best known for her fictional biography of Lakota warrior Crazy Horse.  This story is about a Cheyenne youth named Elk who would rather catch horses than go on the warpath, or even the hunt.  The gist of the book is that Elk's problem is he is a pacifist in a warrior society.  Sometimes, however, the story stretches credulity as Elk will eat buffalo... so long as someone else kills it.  He will however kill an animal or human if his life is on the line.  Maybe this is based on a true story that Ms. Sandoz heard from the Indians and she added her own details, mirroring her work on Crazy Horse.  Also, the writing style is sometimes awkward.  The intended audience is young adults.  While I don't feel that my time was completely wasted reading the book, I didn't finish it with that feeling that I must read it again someday as I have with other novels of this genre.

### ⭐⭐ 2.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    This was not as good as the blurbs say
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 13, 2014*

According to the blurbs on the back cover, this books is fantastic, wonderful at depicting Indian life, yada yada yada. I only got thru the first few pages before finding it unreadable. I enjoy a number of YA books, but had real trouble here. It's an old book, but that shouldn't affect the quality of the writing.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars
