Summary: Clash of Two Cultures
Review: You shouldn't judge a book by its cover. The cover isn't all that interesting but the story is. It's about a boy named John Butler. He was adopted by Indians to take the place of their dead son. He was remaned True Son. He grew up with them until he was forced to go back to with his birth parents. He did't want to go back but he had no choice.

He didn't like his parents, especially his Uncle Wilse and his cousin. He had to wear their clothes and speak English. He thought many of the thing his father did weren't manly. He considers writing in a book and sleeping in a bed effeminite. When he goes back to the Indians, he makes a life changing decision. After that choice he's disgraced by the Indians and his father doesn't want him in his house.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: Great Story... Too Plain
Review: The Light in the Forest is a very good yarn about a boy's conflict with his heritage. On the whole, I enjoyed the book, (...) and elaborate more on the action of the story. The emotion of the book flowed very well, and the characters were believeable. The setting, however, seemed distant and unimportant.
I normally read science fiction, but this book is a nice break from that fantasy world. All in all, a good book.

Rating: 4 stars

Summary: The Light in the Forest 1
Review: "The Light in the Forest" is a great book based on a story of a boy's life whose parents were massacred by Indians and he was raised by them since the age of four. Now True Son has to decide whether he becomes like someone he supposed to be or stays like someone he thinks he is. True Son who's American name is John, has to go back with his American family and stay with them even though he hates the "white devils" and their way of living. This book is an interesting book because of the great adventure and decisions True Son has to make through the time he leaves his Indian family to the decisions of what to do with his life.
