Journey to the Center of the Earth and Dances with Wolves

Can I say that the ending was slightly dissappointing? I really liked this one until the last 50 pages or so. I'm not going to write a review about it this time.

I'm starting another book called Dances with Wolves by Micheal Blake. You may have heard of the movie with Kevin Costner playing Lt. Dunbar. So far its a great book! So much better than the movie, although the movie is great too. He is stationed at a post on the western frontier called Fort Sedgwick, but when he arrives, he finds it completely deserted. Not wanting to abandon his new post, he decides to stay and keep the fort in check until troops come. While he waits, he rebuilds parts of the fort, has a couple run in's with a group of roving Comanches, and has a wolf visiting him everyday whom he names "Two Socks". It's a great book and although the Comanches at first dub him "The Man Who Shines in the Sun", (he chased them away from the fort naked while doing laundry), they see him later "playing" with Two Socks and change his name to "Dances with Wolves". It's an awesome book that I highly recommend reading!
