Summary: This is great book
Review: "Dance with Wolves", written by Michael Blake, is a famous book. It's a wonderful book because it explains some aspects of Native American History. It is great read because it shows the life of both settlers and Native Americans in the past. The book reveals the advantages and disadvantages of life. For example, if you lose a war you feel sorry, but if you win you feel great and powerful.
John Dunbar is strong man. He made a brave decision by accepting to live with the Comanche. His decision impacted his life and his survival. I believe that this book is interesting to read, and I also liked the movie. It makes you think - if you were faced with similar problems in life - how would you survive?

Summary: My Favorite Book!
Review: "Dances With Wolves",by Michael Blake, reveals an exciting story about the war for territory between the Native Americans and Settlers. If you enjoy stories about the West this book is an excellent choice. It depicts the frontier from the viewpoint of Native Amerians. Moreover the reader is invited to experience the constant pressure that was placed on the Native Americans by the Settlers. The main character, Lieutenant John Dunbar, who was originally sympathetic to the early Settlers, joins a Native American tribe. This shift is what makes this story so unusual and unique, because the antagonists in the book become the protagonists. In the beginning of the story the author depicts Indians as the antagonists, when the warriors from Pawnee tribe kill Timmons, Lieutenant Dunbar's escort. The reader gets an impression that all of the Native Americans are evil and cruel savages. However further into the book, Indians become the protagonists when the Comanche make peace with Dunbar, and they are described as victims of colonization.The love story between Dunbar and "Stands With A Fist",a unique Comanche white woman, makes the book even more interesting. This book is a great example of American literature and I would recommend it to everyone.

Summary: More than fun
Review: "Dances with Wolves" is a lot of fun, and a lot more. It's an intelligently structured adventure drama that's hard to put down, and a fascinating study in cross-cultural communication.
Like much of the "noble savage" literature of the past, the story tends to idealize rather than humanize Native American culture. True, it does it so skillfully that we tend to believe we are among real people. But the sheer brutality with which the U.S. Army is depicted, in contrast with the totally benign Native Americans, smacks of caricature. We may deplore the actions of the U.S. government against the country's original inhabitants, but presenting every individual U.S. soldier as a vicious animal and every individual Comanche as a friendly candidate for sainthood overstates the case.
The best part of the book is the long development of the relationship between John Dunbar and the Comanche, told with skill and wit. After this phase, Dunbar emerges as rather too much of a hero to be believed, but the book is still highly entertaining.

Summary: This is a great American history!
Review: I read "Dances with Wolves" by Michael Blake. This is a story of one white man and American indians. One day, a soldier whose name was John Danbar came to unknown land there were a lot of Native American. He hated his chief and this chief was also and this chief made him to go to unknown land to maintain this land's public order and to pushed away him from around hisself. He had known that there a lot of Native American and they hated white because some their land had been orderd by white rule. It was dangerous to go to there for white, but he dared to go to there because he wanted to look the fronteer. People told him no to go there, but he didn't listen to what he said. He lived a bungalow, soon an American Indian visit there when he wasn't , but he saw it. After a while, some Indians visit his house and told him to get out there because white person has destroyed many Indian lands. However, Daunbar gave them presents foe examples, sugur, coffee, and it made peace to their relationships. They didn't understand each languages, but there was a woman who could undersatand white person's languages. Daunbar fell in love with her, and he desided to live together.
What I leaned by this book is even if a person don't understand other race's languages, try to understand an individual can make understand each other. Forexample, when he wanted to talk about wolves, he danced like a wolf to understand the words for Indians.

Summary: Dances with Wolves
Review: A beautifully written book. I saw the movie years ago and loved it. I was surprised at how closely the movie followed the book. That's rare. It's an all time favorite of mine. It's too bad that there aren't as many classics written now as there used to be. It seems that now that many popular books are focused around psychopaths and serial killers. It is a real shame that there aren't more new classics.

Summary: A good first work.
Review: A good spring/summer book. Light, easy on the mind and a quick fast paced read. A good first book, I hope he writes more.
