"This was kind of a disappointment. The first half of the book is comprised of Native American legends and folklore regarding crows and ravens, and the second half is information about crow and raven behavior. I enjoyed the legends, but I was dubious about the lack of context for many of the stories; Feher-Elston seems to imply that crows and ravens play the same or nearly the same role in all Native American cultures, and at times I felt that this similarity might be exaggerated. Feher-Elston also frequently goes a bit new-agey in both this section and the scientific section, which made me cagey about accepting her information on corvid behavior at face value.
All in all, this was an ok book, just not quite what I was looking for, I guess."

"Not a bad book for someone wanting a nice overview of raven and crow myths & culture. Half of the book consists of PNW stories from different First Nations peoples, the other half touches briefly on raven/crow behaviour in the wild & in captivity.

A very quick read and contains some enjoyable tidbits."
