Mine was First "The lone ranger and fistfight in Heaven" because i thought it was both funny and entertaining but also portrayed a unique aspect of life on an Indian Reservation, one that we hadnt really had before. Second was that first peice about the football game between Dwight Eisenhower and Jim Thorpe.. i thought that story was pretty cool

i liked love medicine best because it had a bunch of different stories in one book, it kept it interesting by not focusing on just one thing and one character. i liked it because it was a good story, not necessarily that it was a great native american story

I like The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fist Fight In Heaven because it kept me interested in the book. Love medicine was too many names and family members to keep track of. I was more confused than learning. But TLRTFFIH was funny and easy to relate to.

my favorite book that we have read so far is Love Medicine. for me, it was easy to relate to the characters in some ways and i think that erdrich did a wonderful of keeping readers interested and connected to the story. and while there are a tons of characters, i think that she did a good job of not confusing the characters.

My favorite so far has been Love Medicine because Edrich relates all the characters to real life scenarios. She thoroughly developed all the characters making each and every one of them very interesting.

i really like "The Island" in Love Medicine and "Crown of Thorns." It was really captivating.

"Love Medicine" has been my favorite because I liked that the main character was dead and every other character in the book was affected by her in some way or another, if not directly.

Love Medicine was my favorite because i liked how all the stories were connected in different ways and offered different perspectives on different events.
