A review by intorilex
Winter Counts by David Heska Wanbli Weiden
4.0
Actual Rating 3.5
I had no idea that Federal prosecutors refused to prosecute major felony's on Native American Reservations. I am saddened and appalled that Native American reservations continue to be used by criminals as places where they can commit crimes against the most valuable and vulnerable people in our country.
This book follows Virgil as he tries to protect his nephew and come to terms with his culture and identity. There were some slow parts, but it is a solid thriller that surprised me in the end. The most important part of listening to this book was the vulnerable states of reservations, and understanding more about how they exist in real life. Definitely a eye opening and important read.
And yes it took me a very long time to listen to this because of a crippling reading slump that I've been in.
