Samuel Torres _ammycovisd1d0 — it's been eight or nine years since i last read this, and it almost, but doesn't quite, hold up. it's still probably the best book i've ever read about what fighting in vietnam-- and coming home-- was really like. even though it takes place in space in the year 3000 or whatever. the writing is uniformly excellent, and thankfully free of that hemingwayian/mailerian macho bullshit. this is just a book about a guy trying to live through madness. it's also very funny, being essentially a satire. not a catch-22 type satire, more like a beckettian satire. my one problem with it this time around is that there really isn't much conflict. i mean, yes, it's a war, and they're trying to survive, and when they come home there's the conflict of trying to fit in in a different world, and there's the conflict inside the army, trying to stay with the people they know and love, but there's never any internal conflict, and the external conflict is always just a matter of plugging away, chugging on through, hoping for the best, because that's all you really can do once you get drafted... the point is, the only way through hell is to go mad and pray... which makes sense, but doesn't exactly make for compelling drama. that being said, it's still up there with my other all-time non-pkd sci-fi favorites: The Genocides, Rogue Moon, The Walking Shadow, Paradox Men, Nova, Time Is the Simplest Thing... maybe i shouldn't have reread it, i don't know... so much of it is the power of the ideas and the crazy A Handful of Dust-type narrative turns it takes...

Muhammad Adri addreeimade — I have to admit I really enjoyed this book. Although at first you think the subject matter is going to be extremely superficial, it really does end up giving a great moral story in the end. Being handsome in school was never a problem I had to deal with, so it was interesting to see and hear the problems Bradley has to go through when he becomes a model and the new town celebrity. I really enjoyed meeting Bradley's family and the author did a great job of making each one a very unique individual. A nice read for preteen/teen readers.

àile Carvalho ailecarvalho — I really enjoyed reading The Heart of a Chief by Joseph Bruchac. The voice of the narrator is very strong. I can see what he is seeing and feel what he is feeling. Throughout the book I was taken back to middle school and I recognized similarities, such as how friends in elementary school are no longer your friends in middle school and how difficult that is sometimes to deal with. I liked how Chris grew and at the end of the book I cried when Chris says that, “the heart of a true chief beats with the hearts of the people” (153). That was such a profound statement to me; it showed how much Chris understands at his young age.
