    A Western Novel Everyone Can Enjoy!

    When my English teacher recommended a Western novel to my class, I wasn't so sure I would like it, but this story is not one that is soon to be forgotten! The fast paced action keeps the page turning, but it is also a great love story. One of my favorites!!

    BEST BOOK EVER

    This is without a doubt the best book ever written. Whether you like westerns or not, this is a story about people, very real people. Granted, it is a long book, but you will enjoy every word of it.

    I Also Recommend:

    Best Book I've Ever Read - Even Better than Gone With the Wind!

    There are these rare books that a person will read over and over because the characters become a true part of that person's lives. This is one of those books. I have probably read this book 20 times yet I glean something new from it each time. I can perhaps feel the prairie wind more strongly in my face or better understand Lori's pain as she is tortured by her kidnappers. Oh, there are so many little nuances that make this book the best book ever written.

    Yes, the mini series is truly wonderful. It is my favorite movie just as this is my favorite book. And yet, that production doesn't hold a candle to the book. The thought processes of the charactrs just can't be captured in a movie, and it is those thought processes that make this book truly great. Because while we have two main characters and numerous primary supporting characters, McMurtury is able to concisely yet with perfection allow every character in this book be a real character either by their actions or through their thougts. Since the movie can not capture much of these thoughts, a great deal of the beauty of the work is lost.

    The story is simple enough - it is a story of a journey - and yet it is more than that for it is not just the story of a physical journey, but a story of individual journeys the characters take to experience their own growth. It is a story of enlightenment. And the reader closes the book at the end feeling completely enlightened and ready to start the journey again for another enlightenment lesson.

    StarFire and StarIce

    May we join? They both say in unison. StarFire: Im a midnight black she-cat with flame patterns on my fluffy tail, back, and paws. I have flaming wings and blood red eyes. StarIce: Im a pure white she-cat with snowflakes all over my body. I have wings made of ice and my eyes are ice blue. We have a phrophecy hanging over our heads. "The Fire will escape from the Dark Forest and rise to the challenge. But Ice will come to oppose the Fire and engage in battle" We choose to ignore it cause were best friends.

    Xh

    "I am Mysticalpaw. I'd like to be DoveClan's medicine cat. It's my destiny. My mother Dawnlight's mother, Silverstar, had a omen/prophecy. 'There will be two, kits of your kits, that will have the power of the stars in their paws.' I think I've discovered mine and my sister Lilacpaw's. Mine is I can see or hear things far away(I mean Dovepaw's power). Lilacpaw's is she can read minds and walk into dreams(Like Jayfeather). Lilacpaw is here too. She wants to be a warrior. We need a Clan. Please accept this offer."~Mysticalpaw and Lilacpaw.
