Title: Not Enough for Me to Like Here
Review: I love pioneer stories. That's why I picked up Boone's Lick; it sounded like a winner - a strong female character leads her family West. Shortly into the book, though, I knew I'd been duped. Although there are some pioneer elements to this story that I liked (I especially appreciate the family's struggle to keep their wagon together), this seemed like a long, pointless journey where the scenary hardly changes and you can't get close enough to anything to see any detail. With six chapters to go, I found myself thinking, "What's the point of this?" When I finally got to the climax, it was so hurried and emotionally flat I felt quite let down. I came all that way with a group of characters who got on my nerves for THAT????
