Reviewed by Whitney @ First Impressions Reviews on
The First Four Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder is the last installment in the Little House books. I had looked forward to the conclusion of the series and seeing the beginning of her life as a married woman.
Impressions On the Writing
The novel was not without its problems. Not only was Laura and Almanzo’s life difficult, unfortunately so was my ability to throughly enjoy the novel. It has been noted that Rose Wilder was the mastermind in the writing of the series. This final book cements this belief. It was mediocre at best. Laura rambled and lacked a cohesive thought.
Final Thoughts
The First Four Years was a disappointing ending to the Little House books and wished that Laura Ingalls Wilder had concluded her autobiographical novels with These Happy Golden Years.
