Reviews

[Amber (The Literary Phoenix)]

Generally speaking, this book is *okay*. It's not bad. It's not breathtaking. It's just a story about a group of children on a farm for the summer having conversations about their family and neighbors, and examining their religious beliefs with the mixture of piety and casual curiosity to common to children.

It's nothing spectacular, but it's perfectly readable. The characters aren't as vibrant and interesting as Montgomery's other works, and the narrator is nowhere near as captivating as Anne Shirley. That said, for those who enjoy classics and casual stories about everyday life in the early 20th century, this book will be perfect!

For myself, I'm glad I read it, but I don't think it's one I'd revisit.
