I appreciated the sections on use of this modality for specific diagnoses, but it was a fairly dry text to read.

I could hardly put this one down. I found the story enthralling, and I enjoyed the historical aspects as well.

I was a middle school contained classroom therapist. The author knew the kids very well. The characters were extremely lovable and authentic, and I was character development in both the kids and the adults.

Ok. Most okayish book I have read so far this year. I don't mind multiple narrators, but taking one narrator and jumping into multiple timelines was confusing. I didn't really think many of the characters were likeable. I think that played into my bland review.

The best part of the book was that the treaties are actually written in the back. The book itself is somewhat repetitive and very slow. I'm not sure I retained much of it honestly. Even yet, I do think that living where I do, it is an important historical book.

Make sure that you read this all the way through the author's notes at the end, where he describes his own relationship with the antagonist. This book was excellent, very well written and sympathetic in many regards. It was a bit of a page turner for me, I had to know what happened.
