Reviews of the Dances with Wolves. Dances with Wolves the book was everything I expected it to be. After all, its a script turned into a book turned into a script again. It was a good read but go see the movie (Costner does so few things right give him his due). The Holy Road was much better as a story suited to be read.

I enjoyed ‘Dances With Wolves’ so that I was greatly looking forward to reading this lengthy sequel. Blake evidently put a lot of effort into it but I found it hard going. The plot is a lot broader than the first instalment and that was one drawback: the novel presents itself as a hunt for abducted relatives but the hunt is just one strand in a lot of other sub-plots. Of itself that’s not an issue except that the other sub-plots are hard to get into, and the scenes based on secondary (or primary..more
When I found out that there was a sequel to 'Dances With Wolves' - I was extremely excited and happy. As a movie, DWW was fun to watch and stirred certain parts of my Pagan and Druidic soul. The novel of DWW brought everything into an even clearer focus and made a familiar storyline that much more fun for me. Sadly, 'The Holy Road' didn't conjure the same feelings for me - at least not the first two-thirds of the book. Where DWW brought the concepts of daily American Indian life into focus -- TH..more

Wow, talk about depressing. I am drawn to stories that detail the human condition in bleak and unforgiving portraiture; this novel did not disappoint me. In beautifully written prose, the plight and subsequent destruction of the Comanche through US policy is detailed in an intimate fashion. You weep at the foretold destruction of these people, and yet you can't help but hope that against all historical accuracy they will prevail.
This is a sequel to Dances With Wolves (which was a novel before the movie). I can't say I totally didn't like it -- but it was disappointing and depressing. It has none of the charm of the original. It also doesn't have a real story in it -- Dances was the story of a man finding his true path, not just a depiction of Native Americans. This book just depicts the demise of the Native Americans, and adds nothing new to the telling.

The sequel to Dances with Wolves. If only Michael Blake had written more! This was hard to obtain (finally got it via Abe Books) but I had to read it and it is just as good. Brilliant, even - and tragic; the destruction of a people.

What I learned I learned from Michael Blake. Met him at the book release here in Tucson, Arizona. He has a true love for the Native Americans and the plight of the Buffalo. He gave me advice as an aspiring writer, never stop writing. His words have always stayed with me.
The epic story continues as readers follow John Dunbar, eleven years after he became know as Dances with Wolves. Great story that takes readers into the past and the struggles faced in a harsh land.

Really hard to read, incredibly slow book. I enjoyed the follow on to the John Dunbar story, however it was dry at times, and long. The story was good and well told over all. It took a long time to get through.
The Holy Road is a beautifully written historical novel. Dances with Wolves was published in 1988, the film was released in 1991. Michael Blake wrote the screenplay to his novel, so it is naturally very faithful to the book, with a few exceptions (mentioned below). Blake took some fifteen years before he could put ink to paper to continue the story, and the sequel was published in 2001. Blake now states in the 2011 reprint (Zova Books), ‘Unfortunately, what took place with all, including John Du..more
This is a sequel to Dances With Wolves although it has less emphasis on him and his family. And more emphasis on the persecution and forced move of the tribes onto reservations. We watch Dances risk his life to rescue his wife and daughter by trying to be white again to pass into the culture to find them. We see the tribal relationships build and eventually split into those who desire peace and those unwilling to give up their homeland and way of life.

I love the movie and the book, Dances with Wolves. I own them--incl the first copy of the book. I had to see what happened to Dances With Wolves, Stands With A Fist, Wind in His Hair, Smiles A lot, Ten Bears, and Kicking Bird. I love all the characters. It was a book I could not put down. Before reading it, I was amazed to discover there was a second book to Dances With Wolves. I wondered why no sequel to the movie had been made. After reading it, I understood why.

This book is a sequel to Blake's earlier Dances with Wolves, which was made into a movie starring Kevin Costner. This book starts 12 years after Dances in the mid-1870's when the U.S. Government is moving Comanches, Kiowas and other tribes on to reservations by force. Black tells the story of this painful period from the Native American perspective and its not pretty. Through the story you get a glimpse at the Comanche culture and the way of life they fought so despertely to preserve. The white..more

Very different feel to it than in 'Dances with Wolves'. This is a very depressing story that just wants to make you cry. I can't believe that almost all were killed off. Very little of the story had to do with Dances with Wolves and his family. Mostly it was about Kicking Bird and his. Still, a great read.

The sequel to 'Dances With Wolves' was very disappointing. I felt the author was just captalizing on the popularity of the earlier work.
The second part to Dances with Wolves and the end of a way of life..the story is heartbreaking, but beautiful.

This is the sequel to Blake’s hugely successful Dances with Wolves, which was made into an Academy Award winning movie. It picks up 11 years after the end of that novel, and follows the story of Dances with Wolves, Stands with a Fist, Ten Bears, Wind in his Hair, Kicking Bird and their families as they negotiate the pressure from Euro-Americans who want their land.

DANCES WITH WOLVES (1990) is my all-time favorite movie, so I was familiar with the first story. I had also read the book by Blake that this was based upon, so I already knew that the tribe is Comanche and not the Lakota Sioux as portrayed in the movie. This doesn't detract from the story.

I enjoyed this sequel more. The characters were well developed and individual. Seeing the beginning of the aboriginal reserve system and how doomed it was from the start was interesting to view from their perspective and shed light on the main issue at hand with the whole idea - forced assimilation. and starvation. Having the three 'white' natives not be able to handle it further demonstrating this although the author doesn't mention much of them.

The Holy Road was an amazing novel. It was a great follow up to Dances With Wolves. The book plays out differently than I thought it would going in. Rather than focusing on Dances With Wolves the entire time the novel involves several different characters from Ten Bears Village and their enemies. It's a great depiction of the persecution that took place against Native Americans throughout our country.
Really good sequel to Dance with Wolves. I enjoy every bit of this novel and especially that it focuses on various characters of the Comanche people. Even though the end of the story is know and that there is no surprise with regards to the fate of the Comanche people in this time of American history, I enjoyed it a lot

Ugh
Loved the first book Dances With Wolves but had I not known it was written by the same author , I honestly would have thought it was someone else.
This book just didn't draw me in like the first book did. It was just disconnected from me. Less personal and I Ijust wasn't a fan

A very slow moving first half. Sped up in the middle but I thought the writer might have lost contact with the story because he ended it in what I thought was a perfunctory fashion. Unless you can take several days to wade through the first half don't bother.
There is a great story buried in here, but it needed more editing..more thought needed in some crucial areas, and less thought needed in others. I'm relieved to finally be finished with it.
Epic, tragic and beautifully written

Michael Blake’s The Holy Road picks up the story of Dances with Wolves and his Comanche tribesmen a decade after the white soldier’s integration into Plains Indian society. Surprisingly, though, the white soldier turned red warrior is not a central character in this sequel. Rather, the story focuses primarily on the welfare and confederation of the greater Comanche tribe as the “white tide” increasingly encroaches on their land and resources, pressing them to adopt the “Holy Road” (civilized, Ch..more

While the subjugation of the plains Comanche by the US Army is inevitable, it doesn't make Michael Blake's sequel to Dances with Wolves any less compelling.
When The Holy Road commences, Dances with Wolves and Stands with a Fist and their children still live in the village of old Ten Bears, though their lodge is set a little apart from the others. Though both white, with white offspring, they are no longer considered, nor consider themselves, anything other than Comanche.

I thought parts of of this book were quite lovely. The characters seemed like real people for the most part, and even their less than desirable traits (such as the scalping of war kills) were put into a context which explained them. This book seems well researched, and I think more people need to learn the history of North America's first nations cultures.
