I'm not a critic but I did stay at a Holiday Inn.

My favorite Audible book yet. Great story line, that includes historical moments and figures. Writing & narration were excellent.

One of the greatest books ever written

Best western fiction book ever. The Author deserves to be among the greatest American authors.

A Novel of How the West Was Really Won!

It is not a western but it is at the same time. It is not pro Native American and at the same time not Pro US Army. Little Big man is a must read for anyone who likes historical fiction . Our main character is the best anti-hero I have ever read. As an audible book it will go down as my favorite novel. Rich deep characters set in historic times.

Little Big Man moves between a life of being a Native American and the settlers of that time. Often he is faced with the tough choice of who's side is he on. This should be considered a classic work of american fiction. It truly narrates the tougher decision that faced those who lived at that time.

It is a great book and has appeal for any young adult who is trying to grasp what real life was like at the turn of the century. A fun book with good humor and drama.

Saw the movie now the book

Ya know how sometimes you see a movie and the read the book and the movie is much better than the book? Well, that isn't case here. Thankfully Hollywood stuck pretty close to the book, and it was a very good movie, especially when many young Americans were discovering their awakening awareness of real history as apposed to what we were taught in school, only what they wanted us to know. The book takes the movie and adds depth and part of the story that was left out ( recon it would have made the movie too long). Great read! Gives us a glimpe into a culture of another time, but one that still exists even in spite of all the attempts of the American culture that wanted to rub the other out of existance. Thankfully, the buffalo and the Indians are still alive and well.

Oh Lord, I loved this book.

I was impressed by the timeliness of this book. The comparisons of different ways that we look at life's struggles. Jack as the non judgemental judge is my hero.

Fantastic!

An unsung American classic as good as anything written by the likes of Hemingway, Steinbeck, Twain, etc.

Great narration as well.

Better than the movie

I loved the movie staring Dustin Hoffman....I couldn't imagine the book would come close...but it is wonderful...

Definitely Read

This book is really interesting and has remarkable story telling narration. Just a really good book, that I would recommend wholeheartedly.
