I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Although I found the book interesting and very readable, I was often reminded of Carlos Castaneda. I knew nothing about Ms. donner previously so I was surprised to find that she was acquainted with Mr. Castaneda. The book probably is fairly accurate as far as the cultural anthropology is concerned but there are many areas that are not believable. I would recommend this book as a light read about the Yanomamo.

I really thoroughly enjoyed this book. Donner got to know the Yanomamo intimately, and her experiences are fascinating.
Learn about the Rain Forest!

This is a touching and heartfelt account of a woman's journey into the South American Rain Forest. Living for a time with the natives, she learns about them, herself, the forest, and about magic! Beautiful imagery. You will likely be moved...
