Head North,

This review is from: Halfway Man (Hardcover)
This is an intriguing and heartfelt novel about the differing relationships that Native Americans and Whites have with nature, as well as with the past and with fellow humans. The story revolves around an Ontario Indian, Travis, whose ancient fishing village on Lake Superior has been set for demolition to make way for a resort development. Travis takes the emotionally damaged CEO of the offending corporation on a trip to the wilds of the north country, hoping to make the man learn about the different ways that Indians view economic development and ties to the land. The story moves pretty slowly, and things get interesting for a while when Travis' community has trouble deciding what to do about the development plans, but this is mostly a back-to-nature kind of story. And though the writing style is overly sentimental, with a distracting reliance on flashbacks, and the plot and characters don't develop too believably, this is still a good read and is likely to affect your views on the relations between man and nature.

This book has changed my outlook on life.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Halfway Man (Hardcover)
Halfway Man has changed my perspective of nature and shown me that there is hope for the world. It made me realize the good and evil that are prevalent in all of us, and how to bring out the good more often than the evil. If I have learned nothing else throughout my highschool career, I have been taught patience, acceptance and spirituality by Wayland Drew. Thank you for your hard work and dedication to the Earth Mr. Drew.

The book arrived in the condition described except that it was a trade paperback instead of a hardcover.
