Title: I loved this book so much that I bought it four times!
Review: My mother's stories of growing up in western Kansas during the dust bowl were almost unbelievable until I read "The Worst Hard Time". Her tales of using a rope to feel her way from home to school and placing damp rags around windows and doors to keep down the dust in the house were not the exaggerations I had thought them to be. Timothy Egan recounts the stories of those who lived through this time with vivid detail. He also explains the reasons for this disaster. Many of the factors which brought about the dust bowl are present today so I hope Mr. Egan's journalism will bring greater awareness to us while we can still avoid repeating this tragedy. I finally bought a copy for my Kindle because I had given a friend my copy to read three different times and even at Amazon prices this could not continue. This is a book that you will find yourself thinking about long after you have finished it and you will want to reread it, maybe more than once.
