Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

The basic plot, the story of the Indians of the Turtle Mountain Reservation threatened with dispossession of their land by white men in Washington who haven't the slightest concept of what's important to the Native Americans, is a good one. But the author introduces too many characters, doesn't define them properly, and muddies the central plot with a lot of extraneous sub-plots that she doesn't bring off very well and too many characters that she throws at the reader without developing them very well. The whole novel is confused and annoying, and not well done. I stayed with this story until I was halfway through, and then I put it aside; I just didn't want to deal with it any more. It's just a poorly executed work of fiction.
