Review: ...Guests Guests, was a great book By: Michael Dorris, even though he committed suicide, he was still a smart person. Michael made many books like, The Broken Cord, and the Yellow Raft on Blue Water ect... But one good book he wrote was Guests it's about a kid named Moss who is Native American. When Michael Dorris was growing up he was an American Indian so he was in the same situation as Moss. Moss was brave he went into the woods to find his role in life. Moss the main character was brave he faced his fear of the woods and of girls. Moss saw this girl but he was scared of girls accept this one. Then after they get separated and that was sad. When Dorris wrote the book he added that love can happen to any one. Moss found a magic porcupine that would talk to him and the porcupine said something like it can be done just put your heart to it.

Guests by Michael Dorris, was intriguing and suspenseful. As the authors explains the beautiful woodlands in the Northeast, he revisits his childhood by explaining to the reader that he, himself grew-up in an Indian tribe and fell in love, as did the boy, Moss. He finds a girl and usually is scarred to talk to girls, but no, not this time, he smiles back. He tries to show his tribe and himself that anything is possible, just do everything you can. Moss keeps trying and he soon finds that in life nothing comes easily. Everyone tries to make as simple and sweet as possible, but as Moss tries to do exactly that, he finds himself getting much more out of it, LOVE! This book was both adventurous, but still like a love story. As he was walking through the forest one day, thinking about life, he came across a magical porcupine. He started talking to him, and Moss was amazed. The magical lady porcupine told him the most important thing he needed to hear, "you are who you are, an no one can tell you the truth about that." I think everyone at one time needs to hear that. Ii wish we all had magical porcupines. Moss is a normal boy, he gets into trouble a little to easily, but he always gets out of it. He enjoys walking in the woods and talking to the magical porcupine, he wants to be understood, and eventually, he is. I enjoyed the book, but some chapters were hard to get through. To find out what happens to Moss, his girlfriend, and the magical porcupine, read the book Guests by Michael Dorris.

Review: Do you want to read a fantastic book with hidden meaning? Guests is a thought provoking, suspensful,action filled,ongoing, and interesting historical fiction book. It also has a funny part with a talking porcupine! A Native American boy named Moss runs away because he doesn't want the "strangers"(European settlers)to come for the feast. He makes a friend named Trouble while he ran away.Moss learns a valuable lesson from running away.

Review: Guests Guests, by Michael Dorris was an adventurous, mysterious, exciting, and suspenseful book. When the author sets the tome in the beginning he describes the enchanting life of a young Native American searching for is position in life. As the story goes on he meets someone. "You're a girl" Moss the main character once said along with "Usually if a girl smiled at me I would laugh, or blush, but not his time, this time I smiled back" With these statements he shows the reader what love really is.
Answers to lives questions such as "Moss, what do you think beauty is" are hard to answer like that. In the forest when Moss meets a mysterious porcupine the author explains without putting it in words that no one can answer your life questions, but they can only help you.
This book was both adventurous and romantic. Moss had a very brave soul, or did he? When he walked into the forest he walked in without anything, not even a knife. You could infer he was scared and nervous because he stated, "I'm going with nothing, I said braver then I felt" With that said you could sense something bad was going to happen.
Moss the main character of this book was a dare devil at times but was also a scared at times too. Trouble, the girl Moss meets was definite a tomboy. She once stated, " Would you want to be a girl?" Explaining to Moss tat being a girl was NOT one of her favorite parts of life.
As Michael Dorris is a Native American boy himself I bet he wrote this book to express his childhood event or one of another's. Michael Dorris has also written, A Yellow Raft on Blue Water, and, The Broken Cord. With that books breakthrough brought fetal alcohol syndrome to national attention. This was a great book to learn lives questions and how to answer them. Because of Michael Dorris's sudden death he was not able to write more books.

Review: Guests By Michael Dorris Guests, an excellent book by Michael Dorris was an adventurous and touching book. Michael Dorris explained what it is like to be young and in love. He explained how the boy, Moss, could find his answers in the wilderness. After all, since Moss is from a Northeast Indian tribe he has to find his role in life. I'm guessing that Dorris wrote this book because he as well is partial American Indian. To find his answers was difficult for the young boy. Until however, he meets a mysterious porcupine that tells him to go on with life. Dorris did not actually say this in his story but is trying to say that nobody can ever answer your questions. If I were asked to describe this book I would say adventurous and romantic. Moss was very brave. But was he brave enough? He walked into the woods with nothing... This is where the book got very interesting. Trouble who comes in the story later is a girl. Usually Moss is weird around girls but this girl was different He acted around her just like he would to anyone else. Moss is what made this book interesting to me. He was adventurous and clever. He always knew what to do. Even though this story takes place in the woods it is still very fun. The setting is what makes Guests suspenseful. "Where have you been Moss"? "In the woods". "ALONE". The reason I put that quote is because it left a lot of questions ringing in my mind. Now do you think Moss found his answers? To find that out you have to read the book! I never got to read all of Michael Dorris's books. I am sure that he would have made more but instead he died on April 10-11 of committing suicide.

Review: I am 13 and a very advanced reader. I read this book because of its genre. And some people might think that this is a baby book. But I loved it! The only disadvatage is that the writing was large. Not too large but it is m=not written for a 13+ year old. Even thought it cought my attention and kept it!
