Book Reviews of A Story Like the Wind
Book Review: No...
Summary: 2 Stars
unless you count the author's long-windedness, this story is nothing like the wind.If you're interested in the Bushmen, or if you're simply looking for a good read, you'd be far better served by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas's _The_Harmless_People_ -- her account of actually living with Bushmen in the Kalahari in the early 1950s. (And the later editions include an epilogue, written in the 1980s, in which she has telling things to say about the film "The Gods Must Be Crazy" and other popular depictions of Bushmen culture.)
Book Review: This Story is not like the wind
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is terrible. People will tell you that its spiritual or beautifully written but its not. imagine some telling you what a scratch looked like for 10 minutes. By a scratch i mean a banana shaped scratch on a bike. Couldn't the author just say the scratch looked like a banana instead of making it into a whole chapter. this book could be about 50 pages or less but the author drags everything out to a point where i wanted to die.Book Review: a story like the slug
Summary: 1 Stars
this story is nothing like the wind. this book could be good if he cut out more of the details and and wrote more about what is actually happening he has to detail it so much teach chapter could be 12-16 pages long.
