Pushing the Bear

It is a fiction book from the point of view of dozens of people on the Trail of Tears. Amazon writes, "In a novel that “retains the complexity, immediacy, and indirection of a poem,” Glancy brings to life the Cherokees’ 900-mile forced removal to Oklahoma in 1838 and gives us “a powerful witness to one of the most shameful episodes in american history” (Los Angeles Times).". It would have been better and easier to understand from one American Indian's point of view. It became boring and difficult to understand. The non-fiction parts seemed out of place. All in all, I say: SKIP IT
