Description In Favor Of Books In the Land of the Big Red Apple (Little House: The Rose Years #3)

I've been saving my reviews of the non-Laura Ingalls stories until the end of each series. I just can't seem to hold back with this book, though.

The first two books in the Rose Wilder series was very promising. In fact, I liked the second better than the first one. Unfortunately, that isn't the case with this book.

Truthfully, and I will be completely honest, this one was absolute torture for me to read. I actually considered stopping it when I got to the halfway point. I disliked it that much. Yet, I was determined to make it through it. I have owned this series for years and I never got around to reading them until now. And I want to read the entire series. I want to accomplish this "little" goal in life. But when something is as dull, and annoying, as this book was, I don't know if I will be able to accomplish it because the goal suddenly seems much larger to achieve.

It was dull because the "stories" are just NOT that interesting. At least they aren't that interesting to me. Personally, I don't even see how a younger girl would be interested in any of it.

It is annoying because of the way that it is written. I don't know what the real Almanzo and Laura were like. So, I guess I don't know if there is any truth to these characters at all. Based on Laura's stories, I highly doubt the "characters" that she created in her books would turn out to be the ones in this book. I will be completely honest again and say that if THAT is how Laura REALLY was, I absolutely HATE her! I am so tired of her being this stereotypical farm wife with stories to tell and having a bunch of morals to throw at her kid to show that she knows best (to lecture Rose that money doesn't grow on trees when she used the money that was given to her on whatever she wanted for a special day like Independence Day - was that really anything other than a little mean?).

Why is "jiminy" the universal word there? Not only does Almanzo say it, but, amazingly, so do all of the people down there in Missouri. And he was saying it before he made it down there. I am not saying people didn't use the word. It just sounds "forced" for a person to say it. Even in a book.

How many times do I have to read about the way their eyes react to a situation, the "crinkles" (or what it "wrinkles"? - I don't know - it is the same difference) by Almanzo's eyes when he smiled, and the "twirling" of his mustache? Why? Why do these things HAVE to be written OVER and OVER again??

And what is up with Laura blushing EVERY time Almanzo embraces her in some sort of way? By this time she had been married for quite a few years and had given birth to two children. I HIGHLY doubt that woman would be blushing when her husband gave her a kiss, in the privacy of their home, under the mistletoe - and wherever else it happened! GIVE ME A BREAK!!!!

Now, I will read the rest of the series. Of course I will. Money was spent on them. They have been sitting here for years. I will read them. All I can HOPE is that they will get better, that they will be more like the first two books. If they aren't, I don't know what state I will be in when I get finished with them. I have read so many books that I have not liked lately that I don't know how many more I can take.

January 2nd and I am already hating the first book that I read. That is such a shame. But onto the next! I will make it through these! I just have to keep telling myself that and, hopefully, I will do it.

Assess Containing Books In the Land of the Big Red Apple (Little House: The Rose Years #3)

We really enjoyed this one. Rose did a bit of growing up, and learned a lot of good lessons about friendship and honesty. It also was a big year in the Wilder household as things started looking up for them, after struggling for many years, so it made me happy to read about that.

A must read. It tells you of a different way of life.

With a title like that, you'd think this book was some sort of fantasy novel, maybe one where a kid falls into a world of good nutrition or something. Well, it's not. Instead, this is the 3rd volume of the Little House: The Rocky Ridge Years series. The story of the Wilder family continues, describing life on their farm in the Ozarks and the events in their lives. It's enjoyable reading, though nothing outstanding. One thing I noticed in this one is some of the subtle differences between Mr.

4.5 stars I really liked the way nature was discussed in this book, as well as the shorter stories told throughout that gave us a picture of the state of the country through this one family's experience. I thought this was one of the better, if not the best, of the Rocky Ridge books. 4.5 stars.

The 3rd book in the Rose Years takes us through the end of 1895 & into the Summer of 1896. Through the events of this year we see the farm on Rocky Ridge have a semi-prosperous year as the Wilder family survives an ice storm, the holidays, & the building of a new house. Along the way we have the budding romance between Abe & Effie Stubbins & the jealousy with Rose in addition to following along the everyday hardships & daily routines of life at the close of the 19th century.

This is the first book I owned. I had it when we were strolling in the mall and there were bargained books placed in the middle of the Department Store. The cover really attracted me. And it turned out to be a really good story. Its one of my favorites.I really dont know why but I have this strong liking for farm life. :)So I searched for it online and I found in one of the previews their pictures and their family tree. Unfortunately, those werent included in my book.Its really amazing to know

I love the rose series. I reread them all the time. I love how this book describes how the Wilders are expanding their farm. There are a lot of little adventures that Rose has. She gets to go to town for the Fourth of July celebration, she gets her own donkey, enjoys the Christmas spirit, learns how to find a beehive, and gets to go to a wedding.
