☆ ☆ CAROLINE Little House Revisited
by Sarah Miller
"Caroline" Little House Revisited. I must say, it was not what I expected at all! For me, highly disappointing. Of course, I think I more or less expected it to be near the stories that were on TV. But, Caroline Ingalls, in the book, was too whiny, too passive, too blazé. Yet, thinking about the time frame and moving from one small town in the east to "Indian Territory" on the prairies of Kansas and the frontier moving west, I should have surmised it would be a bit slow and boring. Still, I wanted to finish the saga, which I did...the two chapters that were highlights were chapters 12 [crossing the flooded river in the covered wagon] and 24 [the surprise gift from Charles that he made for Caroline]. The rest of the book? Eh!! Charles, Laura, Mary and the newborn, Carrie were very close in TV characters. There was even Mr. Edwards...he too came across a bit familiar. Other than this...I can't recommend the book to anyone. The reviews are mixed, averaging about 3 stars out of 5. I would give it about 2, if that much.
