Critic Reviews
Silverstein has elected to tell the story of Lord John's survival largely in terms of Sioux rituals relating to such things as wars, weddings, deaths, and even spiritual deliverance.

But the Sun Vow sequence, lingered on in enervatingly gloating detail, ultimately defines it as exploitative.
