Summary: WARNING, WARNING, poor style, ick.
Review: I really couldn't stand this book. Its a reading level four (it says so in the book) which is a little over estimated for a book that has sentences like "And then they went to the happy place and danced the happy dances" and "he sang of the roundness, the roundness of the trees, the earth, ect." not exact quotes but close enough.I had to read it for a class and wound up just asking other people what happened in the end because I just couln't read through it. The story line was okay but the style, well I think the author just took notes from old 50's westerns and other movies with native americans in them from that time period. Too many stereotypes to count. Yick. Do yourself a favor and avoid this book.

Summary: Looking for action? Don't look here.
Review: If you can not stand to read an extremely slow-moving, supposed-to-be-emotional book, this is not for you. Borland struggles to keep his audience interested, and loses, if you ask me. Overall, not a book worth reading.

Summary: Good, but dull beginning.
Review: I thought, after I found out what the plot was, the book was good. However, I could not concentrate on reading the book due to its boring opening. I put myself to sleep five times while reading the beginning. The ending helps the book very much, though.

Summary: A good book, but did not connect to me
Review: This book was a slight disappointment for me. However, I'm sure many people would really feel that they could relate to this book, and would truly enjoy it. I'm just not one of those people. Not much of a tear-jerker (or a funny book), but I guess it is worth reading.

Summary: A Powerful Novel About Being Yourself
Review: I had to read this book as a required assignment for my English class, and I have to admit, it wasn't the best book I ever read, but it got the point across. If any of you out there are thinking of reading this book, I strongly advise you to do so. The point that the story is that you can never change the person you are inside.

Summary: Beware, animal lovers!
Review: This book is not one that I would recommend, especially for animal rights activists and horse lovers. To read this would make your blood boil. I personally did not like this book. It wasn't very interesting; everything was viewed as dull. There wasn't much point to the story, and the end drops you off a cliff, not so you want a sequel right away, but so you kind of think, "So, what now?" I don't think it was written very well either. The author never seems to make a point. So many horses are killed you wouldn't believe it. Everything is killed, in a sense. Tom Black Bull, the main character, makes all the wrong choices-he's killed everything, and there is nothing left to kill but himself. He needs to find his past and find himself, or die trying.

Summary: Well written but nothing to get excited about
Review: The literary techniques used were aimed for the very young adult. It taught a lesson and told the tail of the Native American depreciation quite well, but it was just not for me I guess.
Rating: 
Summary: A good book : 10
Review: This book has good characters. It is very tear-jerking in different parts in the story. The boy in this story has had some unpleasant encounters with white men. You don't know what's gonna happen next.
Rating:
Summary: A book about a young man's journey, for young adult readers.
Review: This novel is geared to the young adult reader. Re-reading it, I was amazed at the differences in the impressions I received, compared to when I read it as a young adult myself. When you get older, you perceive the world differently.
This novel is therefore best read and perceived by the young adult reader. Anyone else may get a jilted impression about the themes, and storyline as they were intended to be read by the young adult audience.
Rating:
Summary: A GREAT!!!!!!! Book to Read!
Review: I think "When the Legends Die" is an excellent book to read. There are a fastinating variety of characters in this book. You never know what is going to happen next
