Finally, rich chocolate frosting is spread around the sides of the cake to hold in the filling.

Summary: "What a waste of a potentially great story."

I tried really hard to like this book. It was impossible. The main reason was because the entire time I was reading I noticed ways that it could be better because the arrangement of the story is so horribly thought out. The plot is interesting when you hear about it; a family that is torn apart because it turns out Uncle Frank, who is a doctor, has been sexually molesting female Indian patients. The book deals with how this family reacts to the event and how the relationships are after it is over. The first problem is the narration. Choosing David, the 12 year old boy, as the narrator makes it so that we don't get all of the interesting action that could be happening because, being 12, he is left out of a lot of it. For example, they lock Uncle Frank in David's basement about half way through the book and YOU NEVER SEE HIM AGAIN. You hear all the drama happening in the basement, but we never actually go down there, making it an incredibely boring narration of what the boy is hearing. We are cut off from huge parts of the plot as a result. My second problem I partially mentioned earlier; Uncle Frank barely exists in this book. I know that the book is supposed to focus on the family drama as a result of Uncle Frank, but only putting him in 10% of the story is horrible. We see him being nice to David. Then he's gone. In the basement. We never see him again! We could have had some great emotional scenes if we had seen a family feud between Uncle Frank and the others. Also there is barely any backstory written on him so we have no idea why he is this messed up. I could go on for a while but I won't I'll end with this: I've seen all the great reviews this book has recieved from critics and I honestly can't see why this book is called a "masterpiece". Maybe I'm missing something. I'm only in high school, maybe I'm too young to see the genius of this book. But I'm not one of those high schoolers who says it was boring because they hate reading for school. This book wasn't hard to read, it was a breeze. But it failed. This book is now one of most hated books on the list of things I have read because I noticed that it could have been 1000x better. And that angers me.

Summary: "What an Amazing Tale!"

"Montana 1948"
by Larry Watson

Book Review by Jay Gilbertson

Much like the book I reviewed last month, "Other Voices, Other Rooms," "Montana 1948" is told through the eyes of a young boy. This time, however, a grave tragedy pits three generations against one another and man alive was the twist at the end a surprise!
No--I'm not telling.
The story opens with a prologue so stuffed full of intrigue and mystery and loss that I had all I could do to pour a hefty mug of coffee before devouring this smallish novel. I read it straight through and by the time I read the final sentence, I felt the bone-dry Montana heat and red dust whip through my hair as the ending followed me around for weeks like an angry shadow.
Watson sets his tale in the small, fictional town of Bentrock, Montana as described by the narrator; twelve-year-old David Hayden. David's father is the local sheriff, his mother a secretary and a woman of deep religious beliefs. The family had a housekeeper, Marie Little Soldier and it is her murder that sends this story spinning out of control.
Watson's opening sentence sets the tone and he manages to keep this same `pulse' to the very end;
"...I carry a series of images more vivid and lasting than any others of my boyhood and indelible beyond all attempts the years make to erase or fade them..."
David's Uncle Frank, the local Doctor and war hero loved by one and all, especially the wealthy and powerful grandfather, has a dirty little secret that is about to blast David's family apart. Uncle Frank has been taking grave advantages of many of the young Indian women and Marie Little Soldier is the one who exposes him for David's father to decide what to do about his many crimes. The sheriff in him decides to lock Uncle Frank in the family's basement to maintain a front in an attempt to salvage the family name.
Things take a nasty turn for the worse and in the end, though perhaps justice won out, you're left with the knowledge (and unfortunately rightly so) that rarely have Native Americans ever been treated with the respect they deserve. Watson was careful to not preach or use too much guilt or wasted adjectives; his writing is straight forward and clear. Through the use of believable tension, he pulls you along, yet I felt there was something lacking in several of the characters development. This, in turn, led me to wonder more about the motivations of why certain characters behaved so badly and with such little concern for one another. Like the all-powerful grandfather wanting his son to turn a blind eye on the nasty things his `star' son had been up to, or how David's mother was so quick to allow her brother-in-law to be held prisoner in their basement.
A hint of where things just fall apart and change forever:
"From the cellar's musty darkness, up the creaking steps, through the cobwebbed joists and rough-planked flooring came my father's wail--"Oh, no! Oh my God no!"

Summary: "Compelling story with vivid imagery"

It is not often that I sit down and read a book in one sitting, but Larry Watson's Montana 1948 grabbed on to me and wouldn't let go. He takes you back to Montana in 1948, to the prejudice against American Indians on the reservation, the conflict of family loyalties, the ugly secrets that a town ignores. The images are vivid, and the story pulls you in immediately. I could see the houses, the town, the people, and understand the way they thought as if I was right there. A fantastic coming-of-age story. I am amazed that no one has thought to turn this into a movie.

Summary: "Great read!"

I'm not much for reviews, but I really enjoyed this book and had trouble putting it down. Watson does such a great job describing the characters and making you feel like you're an invisible observer as events unfold. It's almost like you already know the characters.

I remember several times in the story I would read a sentence or two and those would be followed by another "extra sentence" almost that seemed so perfectly placed. This "extra sentence" conveyed so much emotion and went a step further than I believe most authors would have gone. It's as if Watson adds this extra sentence and you think to yourself after reading it, "you know, I would feel the same way if I was in this situation," but you would've never thought of it on your own if he hadn't taken the time and effort to craft such a thought. Watson makes the effort to capture every moment and ensures the reader can grasp the emotion.

I felt really connected to this book and maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much. However, I think anyone can appreciate a story written with such characterization and emotion. Watson doesn't waste time fluffing it up to make it some overdone masterpiece of American literature. Sometimes less is more and that's what makes this book so outstanding!
