The Removed
by Brandon Hobson
I don't know how I feel about this one... I really loved the Cherokee folklore and connections to the Trail of Tears.
I didn't really love the characters here which I think made the difference. There were also several parts of the book that seemed highly metaphorical and I felt like I didn't understand what was happening. I'm interested to discuss this one at the library book club tomorrow, so maybe I will be enlightened.
This was a more literary focused book. There was a lot of symbolism and extended metaphor that makes this an interesting book to discuss but not necessarily an interesting book to read and enjoy.
*Edit: Everyone else's opinions made me feel better. I could recommend others read this one because there is a lot to decipher and think about. However, this is the type of book that needs the right kind of reader.
