White Thunder

I found White Thunder to be on the boring side. The plot isn't half bad, and the writing isn't too bad either, but it was slow and repetitive and not overly interesting. And there was even a tie-in to the title White Thunder (and arrowhead in the story and featured on the cover), but at the end of the book I don't believe, or certainly can't remember, if it had anything to do with the story other than bits being thrown in for no good reason.

Long story short, a few sitting I only managed a page or two before I was so unengaged that I had to put the book down. Ella Clah doesn't do much except drive all over the place most of the time while the clues to various crimes fall slowly, oh so slowly, into place. The whole "white man doesn’t show more understand Navajo culture" wears thin too. Yeah, I get it, but you didn't have to rephrase that talking point 1,000 times. Oh well, maybe the next Thurlo novel will be better... show less
