"I think I had to love Stone Heart because this is the novel I wrote my graduate school admissions paper on. I love how she took the Lewis and Clark expedition diary and then wrote a fictious Sacajawea diary side by side with it. I think it made the L & C records less boring."
"The reviews call this book "experimental" I think that is a code word for "gimmicky." The fictional journal of the novelist's Sacajawea go down one side of a page, and excerpts from the real Lewis and Clarke, go down the other side of the page. Regular novel format would be more engaging to me, but I don't want to quibble too much, it is an interesting little book. Now that I've finished it, as a novella length book, it was OK, but I don't think this would have worked for a full length novel. I am surprised that it got such rave reviews. I like the way historical fiction can give quick glimpses to the way people's lives really might have been. (Occasionally this Sacajawea sounded just slightly 20th century feminist.)"
"Well this book is a good book if you wanna know how Sacajawea's life began and to know how she got to where she helped Lewis and Clark on their journey. Its very interesting because it makes you wanna read what happens to her. This book explains the troubles and good things she has gone through like having to get captured and traded away from her family and then like when she has to get beatin by her husband and having a kid and plus doing chores/work and help the men on the journey to find food. But it also shows that she is brave and strong to go through everything and being able to help the men on the journey through getting items from different tribes by being a translator, and also helping by traveling and being a negotiator and helping them find which ways to go, which helped them save weeks of traveling. And it is good because she gets to get back to her homeland in the end....and her child/son gets to go get education from clark at St.Louis. And during this whole book you also get to see the words of lewis and clark because you can see some parts of their journal in the book describing what they did each day...so yah a good book."
