Title: Ouch! I've read term papers more interesting than this.
Review: It started out wonderfully, with the vividness and wonder that Cather usually presents, it just went downhill from there. The sixteen year jump in the middle of the book lost me. I lost all view of the characters and the situations in which they were involved. I was surprised to see Cather stoop to such a level. I highly recommend her other works, but O Pioneers, one of her first novels, didn't inspire as did the others. Some will find this story very enjoyable with a great descriptions of the Nebraskan plains, but for me, the vivid descriptions didn't overcome the lack of plot and storyline. Please forgive my frankness, but O Pioneers wasn't as great as I thought I would be. Sorry Willa. 8(
