The Removed
by Brandon Hobson
Really, this falls in the 3,5 star range for me. The novel is definitely worth your attention, thought, and discussion. It leaves you to decide the ending and what makes sense to you. Some of the writing is proseful and the indigenous lore is intriguing. I personally enjoyed the religion, mysticism and healing that were key to this story of faith, family, and ancestry, but told in the confines of modern living and struggles of a modern indigenous Oklahoman family. The drawbacks for me were the redundancies and repetition. I became bored too tickle for a book I was very interested in. However, there was still enough happening and changing with the characters that I could finish the reading. Many parts were abstract and those were the parts I loved most. While I do. It think this gives you a Ter Ric feel for overall Cherokee culture, I think it does give you glimpses into similarities and differences in beliefs and how we all choose to live.
