- Mark GRating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5In general I don’t leave reviews on anything. But I find this book extremely frustrating. I think it is a cultural difference. But I cannot relate to this protagonist at all. As smart as he is written, he is very stupid about his place in society. One last critic. I also find it very jarring when the narrator, who speaks perfect english, mispronounces certain words. I may be wrong on this point. But I think they are actually gathering sage, not sedge.
