Review of 'I Heard The Owl Call My Name' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
I guess they read this in high school or something. It is off the same list as A Death in the Family. This book is entertaining and seems to be much better than it actually is. It seems that because the protagonist lived with Native Americans, was a religious man and was ill, he learned some deep central truth. But I don't know what he learned exactly. The best I can make of it, is that everybody dies and you should be nice to other people, even though they are culturally different from you. The implication is that it is easy to say this, but you could only really learn it if you were isolated in British Columbia with Indians. As my people say, efshur.
