Avaliações
Em Oct 5 2010, Sergerca disse:
Rather a disappointment compared to Dances With Wolves. Blake just tries to do too much in too few pages (although I'm not saying it should have been longer). Dances With Wolves was so good because much time was given to develop the characters and set the scene. I really felt transported when reading it. In this one there is too much action and too many events to allow for any real plot or character development. **SPOILER ALERT** Just about every main character from Dances With Wolves is killed and yet, Blake glazes over their deaths and nobody seems to miss them when they're gone -- including the reader.Also, there is some sloppy history, though this really isn't a historical fiction novel. One, the depictions of Gen. Sherman, and especially Pres. Grant, are complete caricatures. Grant was not the Indian hater that Phil Sheridan was, but you wouldn't know it from this book. Two, when Kicking Bird and Ten Bears visit the White House Blake mentions the "back-skinned slaves" in the room where they meet with Grant. There were never slaves in the White House, much less when Grant was president (after the Civil War!). All in all, a disappointing follow-up to one of my favorite books.
