Hey Oprah, read this one !,
By Herb Stanfield (Mills River, North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When The Owl Cries (Paperback)
I laughed, I cried, this book became part of me. The characters were true, the history is right and the only reason this book won't get made into a movie or mini series would be that it's too real. The vision of how Native Americans co existed and the troubling questions of slavery are secondary to the daily stuggle of subsistence living on the frontier. The highs are towering and the tragedies are heart breaking. Just like real life. Somebody do Oprah a favor and pass this winner on to her. Everyone should read this. The questions today are no less profound than they were then. My new favorite book.

Down To Earth Historical Novel,
By Micah Stonerock (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When The Owl Cries (Paperback)
I thought this book contained very realistic dialogue-- the author did his research. The historical information was relevant and alive- not just abunch of dates and names. I wish he would write a book about Vietnam.

A Lovestory I Truely Loved,
By Tracy Hall (Newbern, Tn.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: When The Owl Cries (Paperback)
I just have to say that this was one of the most wonderful books I have ever read. I could almost see myself there, watching all the events unfold before me. The author used such detail that you would have believed he was there witnessing the events firsthand. The author must have known great love in his life to bring that much passion to the written word. I can't wait to read more books from this surprisingly delightful author. It is a definite must read for anyone who still believes in(or is hoping for) true love.
