Deerskin

This is a wonderful book from start to finish! Wonderful story with the perfect narrator.

I’m not listening this book. The lady reading it talks to fast. Very confusing.

Well done book. Like the others have stated the beginning of the book is really slow and repetitive. My advice is to skip to chapter 8 to start this book. All you are missing is the princess is born to absent, oblivious and cruel parents. She has to live in the shadow of her mother that is the most beautiful woman in the world.

A brave fairytale framing of an important and archetypal story, made so poignantly accessible in Xe Sands soft portrayal.

GREAT BOOK, LOOKING FOR MORE BY THIS AUTHOR

A slow and thoughtful narrative from the perspective of an unaware legend. Turns out that its not as easy as it looks.

I had a very hard time at the beginning few chapters of the book but it had good ratings so I kept trying to like it. And finally I did like it and am glad I stuck with it. I found the narrator extremely annoying in the first part of the book but as the book progressed the narrator was also better. Although this is listed as a children’s book, I find the underlying subject matter inappropriate for children.

I adored this book. Deerskin is a woman who survives and learns for thrive. She overcomes such pain and obstacles. The book is a great read and Xe (narrator) has such a way of reading that the book nearly comes to life.
