Customer Reviews of REINDEER MOON

Stupendous, experientially and intellectually delicious
Simply one of the most fascinating books I've ever read. Easily the best invocation of what life may well have been like for our hunting and gathering ancestors, and a stupendous illustration of animistic modes of experience, and of the reciprocity between human beings and the living land. Brilliant insights into the sensorial worlds of other animals -- wolves, mammoths, and others -- as well as into mysteriously beautiful styles of thought and awareness still common among many indigenous, oral peoples. An anthropological and deeply ecological classic -- and yet its a novel! Its not forthose who like their nature sentimental and sweet, but if you care about the wild otherness so rapidly dissappearing from our world, don't miss this astonishing book.

Good Story, But Kind of Stressful
This is not the kind of book I normally read, but I could stop myself from reading it once I began. Elizabeth Marshall Thomas truly knows how hook a reader. I felt pain and sadness, at the deaths of Yanan's lodge members, but also their joys. The other does a seamless job of moving the story back and forth from the really world [if you can call it that], to the sprit world, and somehow make me [a strong non-fiction reader] believe. I will worn the reader, that this book did not leave me feeling relaxed, I found that I was stressed and restless after reading it. I would call the book a good read, one I wouldn't want to have missed out on, but I wouldn't call it an enjoyable read.
