2.The Master Butchers Singing Club : A NovelThe Master Butchers Singing Club : A Novel
from HarperCollinsPublishers

Customer Review:
As much has already been written about the Master Butchers Singing Club this review is going to be very short. In holding with the previous critques, I agree that there are way too many overburdened plotlines carelessly jumbled together, a misleading title and all in all too much pathos. In the end... more info

from Bantam Books

Customer Review:
I first came upon this author at the thrift store, and read The Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse book through without stopping, I loved it that much. I now have every one of Erdrich's other books, and have loved them all. The people here who rate this one or two stars have NOT read... more info

Somewhere in Birchbark House there is a good book trying to get out. Maybe that's unfair, but I like pithy, and this book is anything but.

5.Last Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse, TheLast Report on the Miracles at Little No Horse, The
from HarperAudio

Customer Review:
The novel begins with a genealogy chart to help keep track of the characters. Sure enough there are miracles (that the down to earth can explain) and a rich flow of almost musical storytelling.

6.The Painted DrumThe Painted Drum
from Thorndike Press

Customer Review:
Sometimes, it's worth reading a book for a single sentence. The Painted Drum was one of those books. Don't get me wrong, I love Louise Erdrich. Her books are beautifully written, and her characters stay with you for a long time. But, lately I've gotten the impression that Erdrich has become trapped... more info

from Harpercollins

Customer Review:
I read Love Medicine about two years ago and it was my introduction to Erdrich. I liked Love Medicine. I was at the Big and Nasty bookstore and found Four Souls on sale for $4.98 so I bought it relying on my previous enjoyment of the author.
I am so glad I did. This book is very good. Erdrich... more info

Customer Review:
First off, let me say that I might have liked this book better if I had not read other books by this same author. The problem is that, to me, they all seem the same. I see plot elements reused from title to title, and within the story itself. Even if I hadn't read other books from this author, I... more info

The tale was too esoteric. It was very difficult to follow. I could only last one chapter then I was off to sleep!
