Gabriel Horn (1)

Seeing as I took one of Gabriel's creative writing classes and he is one of the coolest guys on the planet - I really wanted to love this. Let me also add the fact that I absolutely did love Native Heart.

This was just a little too surreal for me. I read it with a friend and we just kept saying, "Wait, wasn't he just young?" "I thought he was on the beach?" There's definitely some cool stuff in here and the message is one I whole-heartedly agree with, but it just didn't seem very cohesive show more and I was lost often.

So while I will still be reading other books from Gabriel Horn in the future I can't really recommend this one. show less

This was another annotation I wrote in 2000 for Dr. Walling's class during library school. I saw Mr. Horn speak at my university while I was an undergraduate. His speech affected me at an impressionable time in my life, and I credit him as an early influence in opening my eyes past that point where mainstream American society typically turns away.
