3/5 Stars (%61/100)
I always have difficulty trying to think of points to give to nonfiction works. As nonfiction works contain factual information (for the most part), I try to grade them out of personal enjoyment. Spider Woman was a book that has been staying in my kindle library for a very long time. I couldn't read it on my kindle and I forgot that I can read it on my phone. I got the chance to read it at my office and I actually quite enjoyed it. I was expecting more of a legend/myth regarding Navajo people but surprisingly, it is more like a field journal of Gladys Reichard who lived among said people and recorded her experiences. I actually learned quite a few things about their lives, culture, and more specifically weaving. The fact that Reichard included pictures made it more enjoyable and easy to understand in my opinion. If you are curious about Navajo people and want to learn new things about them and their culture/history, this book could be a good source.
