Slate Magazine reviewer hated this book. I am enjoying it tremendously perhaps for the exact reasons he hated it. Many things he says i feel I have to write down because they express feeling I have which have been left unsaid.

Charles Frazier in true Southern style loves language, he loves story telling, and he loves to develop his characters and let them live large in our hearts long after the book is closed. Thirteen Moons also told an important tale that harkens back to my heritage, and is not told in such detail and with such human passion anywhere else. A fabulous read. I loved Cold Mountain, I love that Frazier takes so long to turn loose his polished gems, and I am in his debt for providing me with such reading pleasure, if only every so many years.(less)

This book has really stayed with me after finishing it over a year ago. I loved Charles Frazier writing in this book. Can anyone suggest something similar? I have read the reviews of Frazier's other books, but they seem to be outside of the particular genre I enjoyed with Thirteen Moons.

The book that comes to mind is All the Pretty Horses, which takes place in the southwest USA and Mexico. Though the setting is much different than Thirteen Moons and it takes place about 100 years later there are some similarities in the two books. In All the Pretty Horses, teenager John Grady is forced by circumstances to leave the ranch life he knows and to seek his way in the world, using his resourcefulness and knowledge of horses, while often living rough along his journey. Like Will in Thirteen Moons, he meets fortune, misfortune, and love as he seeks his place in the world. The writing by McCarthy is also quite excellent, reflecting on life and nature through the experiences of John Grady. I have thoroughly enjoyed these two books and others by these two authors.(less)

I am struggling with this book - I think Charles Frazier's writing is beautiful but I just haven't developed a connection with the characters yet. Only on Page 90 - is it worth it to keep going?
Cricket Muse The first half of the book is more focused than the second half which meanders in the telling.
