Book Reviews of Code Talker: A Novel About the Navajo Marines of World War Two
Book Review: Code Talker: A Novel About the Navajo Marines of World War Two
Summary: 4 Stars
I found Code Talker to be an excellent read. The struggles face by Kii Yahzi/ Ned Begay (the main character, emphasis on THE) are captivating, particularly the racism he faces in boarding school. While it is at times bloody, the audience for the narrator (his Navajo grandchildren) gives Bruchac an excuse to avoid most of the violence. It still manages to vividly recreate other hardships the soldiers face, especially the harsh environments the marines were forced to fight in. The writing style is fairly easy to understand, so it's not a difficult read. Nice if you want a chance to relax with your brain mostly in park.
