Negative Positive
Title: Could have been much better.
Review: "Calling Me Home" is interesting in a historical point of view, but other than that, it is a boring book. Unlike many other Oregon Trail inspired books, this story deals with the process in buying land and living in a soddy. This book was very redundant and lacked character development. Topics were mentioned, but then dropped: example Abbie's piano, their old house, family members stricken with cholera, By's family, etc. If these potential story lines had been expounded on, the book would have been much better. I do not recommend.
