book review

   The book, Touching Spirt Bear, by Ben Mikaelsen horrified me withits gruesome details. I thought the book was,for the most part veryinteresting. The theme is to take responsibility for your own actions. Cole was sent to Alaska as punishment for what he did to Peter. Proceding his sentence to Alaska, Cole's sellfish act of burning down the natives had built for him witch lead him to haveing to sleep in the cold, Alaskan rain. The author slowes down in certian areas of the book by giveing way to much detail. This causes me to get bored and want to put down the book, Cole is a very angered boy, who has had a realy hard life. He blames his parents for his bad ways because of their drinking habits. This book relates to the book, The Red Badge of Courage, because both books portray the same theme. Even though Touching Spirit Bear, has a few boring points, it is for the most part very interesting.
