review 1: Lots and lots of history and detail, which is great for a textbook but not so much for a novel. Yes, I'm saying it dragged. I found myself skimming over entire paragraphs, and believe me, I NEVER do that. The other thing that really bugged me was that the main character is in love with a woman yet sleeps with a different woman. What is that all about? Made me want to slap the fella. Definitely not a thumbs-up kind of read.
review 2: won on goodreads giveaway! i do love historical fiction...most especially when it's written as wonderfully as this novel was. the imagined story of the young life of Jean-Baptiste Charbonneau (son of Sacagawea) was just captivating. it's hard to believe that the author fabricated the majority of this young man's journey..... more.the story seemed so real.of course, the meaty portion of the novel, Baptiste's 5 year journey throughout Europe, was the most fascinating and elaborated part of the novel...and i found that even though there wasn't much "action and adventure" in the book, i was still enticed to continue reading. in fact, i barely put the book down from start to finish.the thoughtful and child like exploration of the "Old World" was brought to life through the eyes of a man raised as a Native American, marveling at all the intrigue that Europe had to offer. i very much enjoyed this. less
