The Light in the Forest Audiobook

" I really liked this book because this story is about who different groups of people such as the white settlers and the Indians who were living in Ohio. This story is pretty much based on a white boy who grew up with Indians and he learned Indian ways as a prisoner in Ohio. The reason why I like this book is because it is about how a little white boy that Indians dislikes is raised in their very own village but when the day True son had to return, many events begin to occur. "

" i had to read this for school "

" Read this in middle school...musta been damn good cuz it stuck with me up til today at 35 yrs old picking out memorable books on a website! "

" This book let me think of one touching sentence which is about the love between the parents and the children, the sentence is "The one who grows you is more important than the one who gives you birth". Actually this is true because except your life, the one who grows you gives you everything you need. Even though this sentence is saying the parents that abandon their children, but True Son's situation is similar. To the abandoned children, their parents are strangers, and to True Son, Lenni Lenape is totally strange to him. Although he is white, but inside his body, in his blood, he is a complete Indian, and he does not expect to change the "fact". "

" I don't know why I thought of this book. I had to read it in 7th grade and I just remember hating it. It had plenty of things I should have liked in it, but, no dice. So if you ever find yourself in 7th grade and your teacher wants you to read it, consider transferring. "

" This book had no purpose. Had to read in fifth grade. NO FUN!! "

" Loved it. Thought provoking. "

" This is not one of my favorite books, it's okay, but nothing great. "

" A book for teens, this book touches on topics relevant to that age group. It also challenges the Euro-American view of history and the people who lived in America when they arrived. It doesn't have a happy ending. "

" Paradigm shifting kind of a book, but a rather sad ending. "

" loved it, especially learning more about native american life "

" One of the books I read in grade-school and still remember, so it must have been great! "

" I would actually give this book a 3.5 rating, but am not willing to stretch it to a 4. I was definitely moved after reading the novel, however do remember noting minor setbacks in the writing. I have to give credit where it is due, though, and commend the author on a well-written work. "

" A book my father loved and wanted me to love. I wish I did. I'm afraid I may have let him believe I liked it much more than I really did. "

" I loved how the author took a view on different sides of life and touched me with this story. This is the book I would always remember. "

" I had to read this book in school. I didn't like it that much at the begining. By the end it was one of my favorite books i have read. There were many good lessons learned. My teacher was even reading it out loud and started crying!!! I suggest you read it!!!!! "

" I read this once in school and I remember that I enjoyed it, but it's due for a re-read methinks. "

" One of my favorite books. The main character is a white boy, kidnapped and raised by a local indian tribe, who then is returned to his biological family when he is a young teen. This set up enables the reader to be able to see the conflict between whites and indians from both sides. Great book! "

" A fantastic book, even without the happily ever after. "

" We read this as part of our early American history studies. It was pretty heavy, and not at all happy, but gave a very interesting view of early settlers vs. Native Americans. "

" The ending was really sad. I don't like to read sad books. "

" This was a sad, disappointing novel. There was no concept. It told about the life of an English and Indian boy with no exciting parts and boring choice of words. I do not recommend this novel unless you like hard and boring books. "

" I read this book so many times as a kid, and still often reread it. A tale about a white boy raised by Indians, and given back to his white family while a teenager. He does not belong fully with either group, and never will. "

" Interesting and the ending is kind of sad. "

" .5 stars.HATED THIS BOOK. read it for school. "

" A fantastic book, even without the happily ever after. "

" Would've given it 4 or 5 stars, but then I read the last chapter... I hate books that end like that. "

" Read numerous times because I used to teach middle school language arts. A great book! "

" This is a good book...if you are about 8 or younger. Maybe even 11. After that, well, it might seem a little stupid. I picked this book, and I always pick good books from a random row of books. Just read it, but you might want to give it to a kid so that he/she might enjoy it. "

" Meh.The ending was depressing, but not in a tear-jerking, heartfelt, "poor kid!" way, but in an annoying, "That was stupid" way. "

" This is not one of my favorite books, it's okay, but nothing great. "

" Good novel. They could have made longer and better. It was a cheesy 200 page book. Otherwise, it was great. I love the theme of making descions, between his white family and his indian family. "

" meh. BUT THIS BOOK WAS SAD! CUYLOGA DEFENDS TRUE SON AND THEN HE'S ALL LIKE, "you're not my son anymore" AND THEN HE JUST LEAVES HIM WITH THE WITES AND TRUE SON IS ALL DISTRAUGHT AND EVERYTHING AND IT'S JUST DEPRESSING!! GRAHH!! "
