Title: A Book to Read
Review: Plainsong, written by Kent Haruf, is a wonderful and easy book to read. It kept me pretty interested throughout the book. I have to admit that there were some parts where I lost interest, but not very often. I really liked the integration of the stories. It always kept me wondering how everyone would finally meet and how the stories all came together. I grew up in Colorado, so I can picture the whole setting, yet there was still much left to my imagination. In addition, all of the stories seemed very realistic. I especially liked the story of Victoria. Her life seems almost unimaginable. She is a very strong girl. Waking up to two old men that you just met; walking around school knowing that everyone is gossiping about you; and living in a completely unstimulating life; now that is amazing. The stories of Guthrie, Ike, and Bobby are equally incredible, though being a seventeen year old girl myself; I understand the character of Victoria best.
