Power

As I pulled this book out from under my bed I instantly got excited. I know you aren't supposed to judge a book by its cover--but i figure with all of us being young artists we all probably do. Anyways, this cover struck me right away, not just the picture on the art but the feel of the book itself. Maybe it's because all my previous but books were used and crappy but the feeling of a new book with an eerie photograph on the front just got me real excited to crack it open.

The first thing I did was read the back cover. I was taken back because the description/synopsis did not match the cover photo, however, it still looked like an interesting read.

After finishing the first chapter i thought to myself how cool this book was going to be. Ive never read a book with tribal people set in the jungle. I have always wondered what the lives of those people are like. It's so different from how we live our lives. Basically their world is the land of the tribe and they live much simpler than we do. I can never tell if i would love that or hate it.

As i got into the second chapter i realized the picture in my head didn't match up with what i was starting to read. In the first chapter i pictured Omishto in a loin cloth with tribal paint on her face. But then when i heard of her sister wearing her dress and her "stepfather" the life i thought they lived was apparently quite wrong. I'm still a little confused with their lifestyle and how civilized/not civilized it is. I'm very excited for what's to happen next and to have a better understanding of that part of the world.
