★☆☆☆☆
Not accurate, exaggerated with a hint of racism
I am a Comanche and this book appalled me on numerous occasions. The author consistently demeaned our tribe and labeled us as 'savages' throughout the entire book. This book has so many glaring inconsistencies and exaggerations it's hard to take seriously in any literary sense. What is even more disturbing is the fact that it seems to rely heavily on shocking the reader in an a horrible attempt to portray what the author felt was a 'realistic' depiction of Comanche life. I was hoping I could come away from reading this with a fuller knowledge of my own history but wound up disappointed instead.
