Indian Horse book review by national post

My group has chosen a review from the National Post for the novel Indian Horse by Richard Wagamese. I think the author of this review Donna Bailey Nurse has done a great job with it. Personally, I really enjoy the opening paragraph to start off the review that gives people who haven’t read it a good insight on what the story might be like. I also specifically enjoy her use of adjectives throughout the review because I think it gives a good description for what the story was like. I specifically enjoy the way she tells us a bit about the author Richard Wagamese. Before reading this novel, I hadn’t known of Wagamese because I’m not a big reader, but by her explaining to us exactly who he is, I could make connections as to why he might have chosen a topic like this to write about. Overall, I think the author of this review has really told the summary of the story well by including all of the most important points and I don’t think she missed anything. Near the end of the review she says ‘’ As Saul’s opportunities increase, so does the racial hostility.’’ I personally couldn’t agree with this more and I think she choose the exact right words to describe Saul’s experiences. I think this review has made many people read this novel because it captivated the novel and I think it was really well done.
