Summary: The Education of Little Tree
Review: The education of Little Tree was a very good book. The main charecters{Little Tree, Granpa,Granma}were very courageus and I liked their attitude and style and the way that they respected everything around them(the animals plants and the earth.) The bad guys were mean to little tree and called him names that he didn't understand. The story was an eccelent story and had you intrested the whole time. The Author really made you feel like you were walking along side Little Tree on the mountain trail.

Summary: You can learn a lot from this book yourself.
Review: The Education of Little Tree is a complicated, but educating book. If you can understand slang from the old days and understand metephors this will be a great book. This book is about Little Tree and how he learns along the road of his life. His parents died and he was left with his grandparents. His granpa teaches him the way of the Cherokee, from moonshining to hunting the wise way. His granma teaches him the way of life and how to have a healthy spirit. But, when the government find out that Little Tree's grandparents aren't legal enough to raise Little Tree, they take him away to an orphanage. In the orphanage he does not like it because they treat him like trash due to his indian heritage. Will Little Tree ever see his grandparents again? Will Little Tree spend the rest of his life in an orphanage?Read Little Tree to find out. To me, this book was funny because of the way granpa teaches Little Tree and how they talk. It is also sad becasue som e people die and how Little Tree is treated from other people. The begining of the book is slow, but as you read into the book, it gets better.

Summary: I enjoyed the book!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed reading The Education Of Little Tree. The book contains many gems of wisdom, is well written, and would be a great book to coax young non-readers into becoming readers. Perhaps not as much as Harry Potter does, eh?I was dismayed to read that Carter could have been a racist-hate-monging-speech-writer. I can't imagine how he could have come up with this book if that were the case. He must have lowered the bucket into some previously unexplored personal well. It's been said that Wagner was an anti-semite, yet people love his music. If we knew the true backgrounds of all writers, poets, composers,etc. we might not like what we find. We are a species capable of achieving great heights and sinking to low depths, sometimes all within one person. Read the book, forget about Carter.

Summary: Highly recommended
Review: I didn't know what to expect when I received this book as a Christmas present, I knew the message would be spiritual, but the way the author describes scenes in this book just took my breath away. His descriptions are almost poetic. I felt like I was there with Little Tree, in his secret place with Ol' Maud and all the other dogs right along with him. I plan on reading this book to my daughter when she gets older and hope it becomes one of her favorites too. I would definitely read the book before seeing the movie version.

Summary: This is a white fantasy of natives, nothing more
Review: That Forrest Carter, a leader in the Arizona KKK, a man who shot another man in a civil rights march, and George Wallace's speechwriter, would push this obvious fraud is no suprise. That many whites would fall for this pure FANTASY of what they falsely think we are like is really sad and unfortunate. Just so you know, this is NOT an autobiography, it is a long ago discredited hoax. Cherokee ways are NOTHING like what is shown in this book. How sad that so many people are deceived into thinking this is a truthful story about natives. This book is much like the movie "Pocahontas", a sterotypical and racist story that falsely poses as anti-racist. And whites pat themselves on the back while natives shake their head and wonder of things will ever change.

Summary: For Everyone
Review: This is one of those rare books that is powerful, logical and has such important perspective that any age could and should read it. This is a book that you could raise a child with. In fact I'm not a parent yet but I plan on reading this book over and over to any kids I might have. Also as a professional writer I think this book is in a class where you can no longer compare how good it is to anything. That would be like comparing Bob Marley and Bob Dylan. They are both great and nothing more can be said. Check out how simply and powerfully Mr. Carter writes about the trail of tears.

Summary: The Education of Little Tree review
Review: I have read The Education of Little Tree three times and have really enjoyed it all three times. The Education of Little Tree is a book about a Native American boy whose parents die when he is about six or seven. His grandparents adopted him and raised him as a Cherokee. This book is told through the eyes of an 8-year-old boy named Little Tree. The book is set in the early 1900's in an eastern part of the Rocky Mountains. This book is so interesting to me because it shows how this family lived off the land without taking more than they need and without abusing the land at all. I am very interested in a life like the one described in this story. A different reason I like this story is because it is through the eyes of someone in a vary different culture that thinks differently than I do.

Summary: my review
Review: 4**** The Education Of Little Tree, by Forrest Carter is about the education of a small American Indian boy in the ways of the Cherokee. I thought that this was an excellent book. It gives us as readers a view of two worlds, that of the Cherokee and that of the white men, as well as what they think of the Cherokee. Forest Carter is truly a great story teller. His books make you want to read more and more. I am a teenager who thinks that it is very hard to find a good book these days, so if you are like me, read this book. This book is very easy to read and interesting. It also opened up my mind to the suffering of the Cherokee and their history.

Summary: my opinyon
Review: I liked this book for many reasons. It explained a lot of things about the Cherokee culture, what they have gone through, and why they have gone through it. The book explains important things in history that many people think they know about but are mistaken on how they really went down. The book is extremely descriptive in every way it could be, in the surroundings of the minor characters, and in the major characters. The other reason that I liked the book is that no matter what happened, the characters always looked on it as a good thing, even if something horrible happened. by Paul Rullo

Summary: The Wrong Way to Think About It
Review: To me this book was not the best of books. I was forced to read it by my English teacher. There were two books that we could have read,But he ran out of the other one so I was stuck with this book. At first I thought; oh a book about native Americans, cool". But as I got to reading it, the rest went downhill from there. But it was so cut off because it was like they hated the outer world or the civilization, represented by the people in the limo and people on the bus. It made it seem that all the other people made fun and hated the native Americans, which is not true. But the good thing was that it had a great understanding of the nature and the native American way. But about little tree, if this story was true he was the perfect little because he always wanted to work and never wanted to play or do anything else. He never told a lie, so what i get from it is that Foster Carter was the best child that was ever born, and I don't believe that. So, I liked the book but it lacked that raw sense of reality.
