I would rate it 2 out of 4 as I found the part very dull where Sarah narrates her story when she disappeared for 8 days. It failed to capture my interest and I flipped through those pages

I truly enjoyed this book I would rate it
4 out of 4. One of the things I enjoyed
the most was the Native American
mythology and the incorporation of the
idea of inherited memory and how
memory can be passed on through
many generations through genetics. All
very interesting concepts. It made me
want to read more and I'm looking
forward to the next in the series.

I have done a full review of this book. It mixes different time periods and cultural backgrounds. That is dangerous in a book, but it comes off reasonably well here. The book also cuts off without resolving some issues, obviously in anticipation of a sequel. But despite these problems, I liked the book a lot and recommend it.

I just finished reading the book a few days ago and rated it 2 out of 4 stars. I found the book an ok to ready - it starts in a good pace but dragged in the middle and there are some unresolved points in the end of the story.
But I enjoyed reading Sarah's vision as well as Willaim's character. I like the blend of science and mythology however, it did not make an impact to me.

I really enjoyed Strong Heart! I thought it told a great story and painted a fantastic background for it to be told within. I loved the closeness of the group of friends/family that compiled the main characters. I will certainly recommend it to others to read!

3 out of 4 stars I liked this book. It felt well researched and it set current problems in contrast to ancient problems and somehow they felt similar. The handling was the same. Strong Heart and Sarah are the same spirit and her quest to survive the 'journey' in the "historic" sense and her current situation is connected by that strength.

The book was ok to me. It wasn't really easy for me to relate to the characters as the story goes on. The topic of the book was very interesting to me and the plot waa exciting, but some of the events could've used more detail. I gave the book a 3 out of 4 stars.

It was indeed a nice book, catching the interest of the reader from it's opening Pages to it's end. I strongly, without doubt, give it a 4 out of 4 star rate.

I really enjoyed this book. I rated it 4 out of 4 stars. I really liked the realistic aspect of the characters. I would definitely recommend this book to young and not-so-young adults.
To read or not to read? That's not even a question!

I found the book a bit difficult at first. I didn't like how hard Tom was on Sarah for no reason. I really liked the setting, I thought all the nature was beautiful. I was incredibly confused when Sarah first started telling them her experience. I legitimately thought my PDF file was corrupt for awhile. But then I really started to enjoy the story. I think it was left on too much of a cliffhanger, and I was very confused because I didn't realize there was going to be another book. But that makes sense with how it was left. I gave it a high rating because it was done well and it was a good story. I need to decide whether I'll read Adrift in my free time. If the opportunity to review it becomes available, I'll definitely take it!

Overall I really enjoyed this book! I thought the plot was really interesting and the characters were well-developed. The only thing I didn't like was the ending because I felt it was a little rushed.

I enjoyed reading the book and I gave it 3 out of 4 stars. I liked the way the story was told from strong heart point of view. In between the story was confusing and many questions were unanswered in the end.

I give it 4 out of 4 stars. Who could have anticipated that the unwanted child would perform such tremendous job? I found the adventure very enthralling and fascinating

Although Strong Heart has some structural problems it constitutes, nevertheless an interesting concept of an archetypical journey to the unknown, a natural pilgrimage with vivid characters. 3/5

I loved reading and reviewing this book and rate it 4 out of 4 stars. My favorite part was Sarah's adventure. The least favourite part was tom's reluctance to believe in Sarah.
