Shade of the Raintree: The Life and Death of Ross Lockridge, Jr. 6 reviews
Laurence Lockridge
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1995
The Great American Novel
The picture in this book of Larry Lockridge, its author when he was little more than a baby, seems to me to reflect the childlike wisdom that recognizes an impending epic tragedy and that it may dominate his life. That tragedy was the death by his own hand of Larry's father, a man who was able to write a thousand plus page novel that is more of a lyric poem. Yet, some reviewers lightly ...

Lee Raintree
Dell Publishing, 1981
The "pre"-story is great
Lee Raintree wrote this first novelization of the "Dallas" TV series (others would follow by Burt Hirschfeld and by Soaps & Serials) covering the five-episode miniseries that is regarded as the first season of the show. It was released in 1978 by Lorimar Productions and Dell Publishing just as the show was lifting off.
This novel will give you a whole new appreciation for Jock Ewing, as ...

Chicago Review Press, 2007
One of the Best Ever Written
You may have once wandered through an art gallery and while walking between images both beautiful and banal happened upon a painting unlike few you have ever seen before. It was found placed in a more remote part of the exhibit and poorly lit thus causing you to give it a brief glimpse. At first glance, the quaint simplicity caused you to smile yet upon a second look you noticed the ...

I loved this book
This book was so interesting, it kept my attention throughout the whole book. The good vs. evil theme is awesome. I am somewhat new to Linda Howard but I plan to read many more of her books. If you liked this book you will also enjoy Love Returns Through The Portal Of Time.

The Bible for young Aboriginal girls
This book is read by every Aboriginal girl growing up. (By Aboriginal I mean Indian, First Nation, Native American, Metis girls.) This book hits home, thinking about the book makes me cry, because I related so much to the characters in the book, this book portrays the reality of an aboriginal girl/woman living in canada. This book is a must read for everyone. Yes, it's sad, but that's reality.. ...

Crazy Horse (Raintree Biographies)1 review
D. L. Birchfield
Raintree, 2003
Vision quest
This book is intended for the young reader who is just discovering the world through reading. As a biography of Crazy Horse it is adequate for the young student. However, the details surrounding this Oglala leader's life is sparse. The book claims to not provide the reader with just the facts but rather "the whens,wheres and whats." To the books credit this appraoch does fill in some information ...

In Search of April Raintree: Critical Edition 5 reviews
Beatrice Culleton Mosionier
Portage & Main Press, 1999
A Canadian novel that should be required reading.
This story was written and set in my hometown of Winnipeg. I'm writing a review not because I feel the need to examine or analyse, but rather because this book had a major impact on me when I was around 13 and I think its incredible that it has not gained greater recognition/appreciation. To summarize in brief, this book is a told through the eyes of April, a young Metis girl whose parents are ...
