Title: What's the big deal?
Product review: I'll start by saying I gave this book 2 stars because I would have felt awkward giving it one when so many people apparently think it is great. Those people aside, it deserves a one star rating, in my opinion. My chief complaint is that it is a formulaic and downright boring period piece. The love between the well-off American and the dirt poor foreign girl is a good example of uninspired writing. I found the characters stereotypical, the setting done to death and the plot (and I only use that word because I don't know what else to call it) simply doesn't go anywhere. But it's not all bad, at least Wick Cutter was interesting. In closing I would like to qualify this review by saying that I read a lot of books and there are only about two that I don't like and wouldn't recommend. It doesn't take much to please me; an interesting story, a fun character, a different style, all it takes is one redeeming feature for me to consider a book worthwhile. I find My Antonia a waste of time.
