Book Reviews of Shell Shaker
Book Review: A tie between two generations
Summary: 4 Stars
LeAnne Howe's "Shell Shaker" is a novel that ties the present and the past generations together to show the importance of a community. Two political leaders, one from the 18th century and the other from the 20th century originally intend to do well for their communities but are later overtaken by greed. Both political leaders, Redford McAlester and Red Shoes, divide their communities by making war. With the help of the spirits the members of the communities must individually make sacrifices for the benefit of the whole community in order to obtain a balance between the tribes. The emotions of the characters in this novel range from romance to violence and murder. I enjoyed this novel because the characters have such an extensive list of emotions which caused me to identify with them as well as sympathize for them, therefore making each character seem real.
