Summary: Alaska Crying Baby
Review: Author Chris Kiana plunges the reader into a story with the contrasing images of the cruel and raw Alaska with the urban and seedy side of New York City. I particularly liked his pacing, and his introductory chapter gives us a taste of the shaman-like figure and his mission for his trip to New York.
Kiana sprinkles home spun wisdom and native humor into his tale, with his main character showing his shaman-like tendencies. The culture clash is quite evident on his adventures in the city. I liked his revelations on the use of "paper" in our lives to have great insight. In summation, the story is good and compact, with short chapters and was quite entertaining for the reader. Humor is imbedded in the plot along with unexpected flashes of terror.
