4.0 out of 5 stars exciting, November 24, 1999

Sabrina Hoffend (Koblenz, Germany) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Spirit Caller (Molly Bearpaw Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

I am a German pupil of English in the 13th form who had to read The Spirit Caller in class in 1999. I found the novel easy to read because Hager uses a lot of direct speech and short main clauses which make it easy to understand. The characters are described with a lot of details. Those are helpful to visualize the persons. I believe the novel is exciting, because the reader is hooked by the plot. You get to know almost nothing about Talia Wind's murderer at first. The investigator Molly Bearpaw has got several suspects, but the murderer is only found at the very end. It is interesting, too, that the storyline has got several parts. Molly Bearpaw sees her father for the first time after 25 years plus the unravelling of Wind's gruesome death.

4.0 out of 5 stars passion and crime among the Cherokees, November 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Spirit Caller (Molly Bearpaw Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

I believe this novel is very interesting. It contains elements of love, crime, Cherokee culture and a lot of mysterious details. Hager vividly describes the lifestyle and the tradions of the Cherokees. Most of the details taken from culture and geography which are used in the novel are realistically drawn and not ficticious. There are numerous dialogues which help us to understand the characters' motivations. The plot of the story is full of suspense. Until the end you never know who the murderer is. The mysterious element is provided by the ghost in the library. I believe the novel is a good one because it contains so many different topics.

4.0 out of 5 stars fun to read, November 10, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Spirit Caller (Molly Bearpaw Mysteries) (Mass Market Paperback)

I'm a student in my senior high school year at Hilda-Gymnasium, Koblenz, Germany. We read the novel The Spirit Caller by Jean Hager in class (8/-11/99) and got the novel via amazon.com really inexpensively and very fast. First I was not really interested in the novel because our teacher told us that the story is about contemporary Indians in Oklahoma and I thought that would be extremely boring. After browsing through a few pages of the novel, though, my attitude changed absolutely. The story of Molly Bearpaw's life and the answer to the crime captivated me, so that I could not stop reading. Piece by piece the reader slily gets important information which helps to uncover the secret, but until the very last chapter you do not get to know who the murderer is and what happened. By was very rewarding to read this novel instead of always tackling difficult texts because it was easy to understand, we learned something and it was fun to read at the same time!
