The fact the host couldn't finish the book gives substance to the Latin saying: De Gustibus. I always wonder when a reader reviews my book about the background, mood, education, age, life experience the reviewer has. All these elements have a major impact on the reader's opinion.<br /> I agree with Shane. A book generally graded as 4.5 can't be a DNF. And the elements it includes: romance, time-travel, supernatural are, for me, the ingredients for a must read, for sure. The Native-American element is a plus as it hasn't been tackled seriously so far. I have just added Medicine Man on my TBR list. Best of luck to its author, Mrs. S. R. Howen.<br />carmens007https://www.blogger.com/profile/13921618455197027274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398754106311010915.post-78169051978762115202013-05-13T12:21:18.740-04:002013-05-13T12:21:18.740-04:00High Praise!

Thank you so much RobRoy, I always like to hear form a reader that enjoyed the book for the contemporary American Indian view, that is my intention with my books that feature Indian characters. To present a modern view in a realistic manner. So glad it is working.

Time travel, with spiritual/supernatural, and romance all wrapped into a strong and interesting Native American character, hooks me from the word go! I really like the perspective that Howen gives, and how she introduces concepts both familiar and unique to readers. I don’t want to say that the Native American aspect was the only one that sold me on this, but it certainly made for a fascinating look at a culture that either gets Hollywood-ized or marginalized. Howen does neither, and this book is the stronger for it.RobRoy McCandlesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07397516891800422514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5398754106311010915.post-45775310888320487282013-05-13T12:01:19.804-04:002013-05-13T12:01:19.804-04:00Thanks, Shane, for your kind words.

She's definitely talented in what she does. Medicine Man introduced me to terrific characters, and the lives they live. I was drawn instantly and had a hard time putting it down. I even learned things along the way. It's definitely a must read!

In all the other reviews I have read, this book has been rated at 4.5 or above, see Amazon, B&N, and the publisher's web site. Even S.R.Howe's romance titles are more literary than the average romance title. So, I have to wonder why the reviewer couldn't get into the book? Perhaps the ethnic elements were not familiar to the reader, or the literary elements were not expected, but I found this book to be a fantastic read. There are not enough ethnic books out there featuring American Indian's in a contemporary setting that showcase the struggles of being Indian in a modern world, while being drawn into the traditional values of the past, that clash. This book shows that very well, and does so in an insightful, and entertaining way, while it doesn't glorify being Indian, (as the noble savage) as so many other ethnic books do, it gives it to the reader in a realistic manner. If you are looking for a romance, time travel, with spiritual elements, and an element of the supernatural, along with the American Indian view, then this book is for you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05737916028656101278noreply@blogger.com
