Book Reviews of Thirteen Moons: A Novel
Book Review: "13 Moons": Poetry in Prose
Summary: 5 Stars
I applaud Charles Frazier's writing as poetry-in-prose for sure! I found the book reality-raw in lots of instances, thus hard to get through (e.g., squirrel skewering -- but also must add here a thank-you to the author for at least not letting Waverley, the protagonist Will Cooper's beloved horse, die of anything other than old age -- although he did have him tortured by Featherstone & co. early on). I persisted reading because "Thirteen Moons" is truly literature. I learned much re: the frontier days, & also found WC's comments so insightful re. living & grief, & also re. journal writing (e.g., see his assistant's comments on WC's unique account books). As for the story itself, I just wished he & Claire communicated better (understatement); & I do also thank the author for giving us readers at least a few opportunites to laugh -- my favorite, the visual conjured up by planting corn with a gun.:-) I loved & revered the writing of "Cold Mt.", & wailed at the ending. I haven't yet reached the ending of "13 Moons", this time listening to the excellent audio version (unabridged), but know I won't be able to say I loved it: I can say that I do revere CF's talent, do praise "13 Moons" to the heavens as beautiful, masterful writing, & even though a raw & difficult story, it's well worth the effort to read it. I'm looking forward to the author's next poetry-in-prose.
PS. I finished it shortly after submitting the above, & just want to repeat that it's definitely a wonderfully written novel, well worth reading!
