nytephoenyx's review against another edition
DNF @ 53%
Can't do it. I'm not crazy about the fanciful way it's written... the mild, proper Caroline Ingalls. She's constantly censoring herself against speaking against her husband, who she idolizes. She scolds one child for being too good and vain about her goodness. There was no effort to approach the Native Americans with respect, instead falling into stereotypes and indeed, making them Caroline's greatest fear. It's a disappointing picture of Western movement. I know the Little House books have some problematic elements, but any modern retelling can and should address this... not inflate it.
All set, thanks!
