For a historical book it was fairly interesting, especially considering This Girl doesn't like horses. Hillenbrand's writing style was favorable and it reminded me of my own, with short, epic, cutting, last statement lines a'la "It was the last time they'd see each other." The epilogue was properly depressing, as all good historical epilogues should be.3.89 out of 5

Your ratings are very accurate.
ReplyDeleteAha! I liked Twilight too. Which I took so much flack for as an English major. Yes, people, I realize it's not *technically* "good" writing, but there's still something to be said for fun to read! Besides, Harry Potter isn't "technically good" either with its rampant adverbs, but hardly anyone seems to be elitest about that one anymore.
ReplyDeleteAnd the vast majority of my school friends naysay-ed on feminist grounds, too, claiming that it sends a bad message to teen girls about relationship dynamics. All I could say was I didn't notice XD;
