culture/religion blunders

This book is a bit dated much like many of Stephen King's works and I feel like of all the many native north american cultures this didn't accurately portray any of them. I get the narrative I really do, I just know that the native americans culture was, and is, quite peaceful and the characters all approach situations in a very white (reactive) way.

Mentally challenging

What did you love best about Soul Catcher?

Looked at the challenges different people have when there culture and religion is not shared by the majority of people. Very philosophical and challenging book.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

Yes, but not because of the storyline. The need to continue reading is based on the need to uncover your own opinions and compare and contrast them to the authors.

Which character – as performed by Scott Brick – was your favorite?

The soul catcher

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The ending was extremely moving and touching.

Any additional comments?

Frank Herbert is always ahead of his time.

Awesome Listen

Read the book years ago and enjoyed it then. Scott Brick brings it to life superbly in the audio version. I could not stop listening.

Never realized it before, but the end of the book seems to have a bit of a Stockholm syndrome to it. Probably because I didn’t know what Stockholm syndrome was when I read the book years ago.

Wonderful Book

First, let me mention that Scott Brick makes any book sound like poetry! He does a great job. I will not go into detail about the book other than to say-- read it, I liked it.

listen 1 0 0 % worth it even sans capitalization

as a reconstructionist, I must admit that paganism in any form results in the climax of this story in one way or another. ultimate reality demands a Savior. Choose One who can save. Christ is Lord of all.

Good enough to eat up time.

A decent telling of what might be the day in the life of a psychotic Native American, but rather anticlimactic.

Couldn’t finish

To me, this was awful. I can’t even think what say about it. I did listen to half of it, finally I realized I gave it enough of a chance.

Tough one to finish.

This books

It wasn't bad. I'm a fan of Scott Brick's narrations and he's the reason I decided to give this a chance.
I won't post spoilers, but I didn't care for the ending. I really felt let down and had to force myself to complete the book.

Powerful!

As a person with mixed lineage, it is an odd dichotomy to loath and empathize simultaneously with the characters. A more apt explanation of duality would be elusive.

solid old school writing from the 70s

seems like nearly every book I've read or listened to from this era had a message or two or five. the authors tried less to entertain and more to engage. alot of comments about the narrator and sure he at times added a little drama juice to the slow cooked meal but I feel it was just to keep it from drying out and he accomplished the task.
