Title: Has good intentions...but fails
Product review: "My Antonia" takes place during the mid 1800s on the Nebraska prarie and tells the story of the ever-changing relationship between Bohemian immigrant girl Antonia Shimerda and Jim (the books narrator).I was very dissapointed in the book. Willa Cather has good intentions trying to depict the landscape down to every last detail, but end up making her charming story hard to follow. I lost interest in the book qucikly. I also found it very dissapointing that Antonia does not play a more important role in the story... the main focus is on Jim about halfway through the book. Antonia is a far more interesting and complex character than Jim, and is more fun to read about. All things considered,it is not worth your time and effort to finish. However, if you are a huge history fan or are into westward expansion, you may enjoy "My Antonia" more than I did.
