A review by mayalaurent
The Painted Drum by Louise Erdrich

2.0

I stuck with this book even though I so badly wanted to quit it many times. The story that unfolds within the last 60 pages was wonderful but everything else left me wanting more meat to the story instead of constant description. I love a detailed story in which I can truly feel the story coming to life, however, when that's all the plot seems to be, without a story developing until the end, it becomes hard to read.
