A nice mix of humor, frustration, and information I didn't know.
I started this a long time ago with my 12 yr old daughter, set it aside, and just finished it. Wow. Such an important read for North Americans. I am still digesting all of the information, but it was so informative. Some things discussed I learned alternate versions of in school, and some things, such as the Meech Lake, Ipperwash, and Oka were happening when I was younger, and I wasn't fully aware of the issues at stake.
Thank you to Mr King for compiling this, and educating those that want to learn.
This makes a very hard history easy to read. Thomas King's wonderful black humour doesn't whitewash any of the tragedies but adds poignancy to the absurd errors and deliberate evil of colonialism in North America.
