highly recommended

I love books where you're pulled in from the 1st page AND you learn new things as you quickly flip from page to page. This is one of those books.

I'm definitely going to read some more of the Gears' work....Hope they're all this great.


People of the Mist, Absolutely Wonderful

The People of the Mist is a wonderfully woven story full of romance, plot, politics, and anthropological information. I was excited to finally find a book that kept my attention, and would keep it so til my eyes fell heavy at night. Who killed poor Red-Knot? Was it her lover; mother; friend; ... The mighty Panther may just be the one to find out. Vivid details and wonderful storytelling.

Pleasantly Surprised

I picked this book up in an airport, not knowing what to expect, because a person next to me on a flight had seemed so engrossed with People of the Mist. I was very pleased with most aspects of the book. First, the mystery plot was allowed to thicken, rising and falling, as the strory progressed. Second, facts about the Algonquins were carefully peppered through out the book, while some were even repeated in order to refresh a persons memory. Finally, movements in the book were marked by the use of interludes from a story teller recalling feelings about shadows, and other things. However, the authors could improve the entire experience by dropping the introduction about the raid on a modern day museum -- seemed cheesy (this is the reason I gave only four stars) . I look forward to reading other books by the same authors.
