Come on Shore and We Will Kill and Eat You All: A New Zealand Story [Thompson, Christina] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Come on Shore and We Will Kill and Eat You All: A New Zealand Story

Review: An Informative and Delightful Read! - Thompson's writing is clear and purposeful from start to finish. This is one of the most enlightening memoirs I have ever read. For any reader who is the least bit curious about the Maori of New Zealand COME ON SHORE is a must read, because Thompson's insights are personal. She has been on the inside, allowing her to speak with an authority that most authors could never have. Furthermore, her candidness regarding the events of her extraordinary life is refreshing. Without spilling all the family secrets, she shares enough to make readers feel included. Moreover, the book works distinctively well because she is a gifted writer. No one could tell this story better than she does, to the benefit of all who decide to read it. Well done!
Review: Good history lesson, tepid life story - I genuinely enjoyed the history lessons and found myself Googling many things mentioned in this book to learn more. To me, it was the perfect introduction to the Maori history and culture. The personal story that is weaved into the book felt lacking. I was left wanting to know much more about the author's husband and his thoughts about her taking on this writing project (she is a white academic from Boston; he is a blue collar Maori). Additionally, the last couple chapters felt self indulgent. I understand why the author wrote about her privileged family tree, but it felt tacky to me. In all, this is a good read, and I recommend it. I found myself talking about it at parties, sharing some of the grim facts (cannibalism) and curious history (a female Brit prisoner leaving ship to stay alone in New Zealand). It was just enough history to be interesting, and not so much that I felt I was sitting in class. Well done.
