Interesting look into the life of Rose Wilder Lane

Revisado: 10-05-17

I read part of this book on Kindle and listened to parts on Audible through Whispersync. While I wanted to really like this book, I struggled to appreciate the writing style. But it had its good moments as well as it's awkward moments. I enjoyed the story being told in first-person, but found it didn't improve the story when it switched to the 3rd person. (Rose is telling her story to a friend, so it goes back and forth every few chapters.) I didn't like hearing a few repetitive lines and bits of stories or sayings over again at different points of the book. It felt like they should have been caught during the editing process, but were overlooked. The congruity of the story seemed off when the timeline of the story went back or forward pivoting on a phrase used before. Overall, it was an interesting look (albeit thru a historical fiction lens) at Rose's life during the mid-twenties to mid-thirties. An easy read.

Somewhat slow start to new series

The topic was tough, pace slow until last 5 chapters, narration hard to listen to.

Interesting take on the classic detective novel.

Revisado: 05-11-16

I think it was more interesting because I used to live in Africa... but it's not a gripping, sly story line. So if you're expecting that from a sleuth series, maybe skip this one.
