by   AliventiAsylum ,  Jun 5, 2005
Pros: wonderful for family reading, vivid descriptions of a very different life

Review: When I was about my daughter’s age, nine, a friend of the family gave me my first Little House book. I was immediately captivated by the stories within and read them over and over through the years. The copy I had contained wonderful ...

An excellent read

by   MonikaEC ,  Apr 14, 2001
Pros: You won't be able to put it down.
Cons: You won't want it to end!
The Bottom Line: My personal favorite of the Little House books.
Review: The eighth book of the Little House series. It kind of has an undertone of sadness, as Laura grows up, and by book's end, is married and going to her own "little house".

As the book begins, Laura is going away to teach twelve miles away, in...

by   goldjay ,  Jan 4, 2000
Pros: well written, fun adventures
Cons: none
Review: This is the eighth book in the series and originally the last (the last one was written as an afterthought several years later). It is a generally upbeat story with fewer hardships than some of the other books in the life of Laura Ingalls Wilder. She...

Pros: feels like you are right there in the pioneer days!

A romantic book you just can't put down.

by   nyonya ,  Jul 31, 2001
Pros: It puts you right into the history and the adventure of our country.
Cons: The book ends too soon.
The Bottom Line: I recommend this book to everybody because I know they will love this book just as much as I did.
Review: I gave this book five stars mainly for one reason, the romance between Almanzo Wilder and Laura Ingalls. The way they go for carriage rides is enough for me to give five stars. The book is filled with romantic evening carriage rides, beautiful presents...

These Happy Golden Years - Too Much to Cover in One Book

by   mmcphee ,  Jul 4, 2009
Pros: A lot happens in three years
Cons: There aren't a lot of details about those events
The Bottom Line: These Happy Golden years may disappoint fans who love Wilder's richly detailed writing.
Review: My seven year old daughter is enthralled with Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House series. We have been reading the series together at bedtime. These Happy Golden Years is the 8th book in the series and picks up where Little Town on the Prairie left off. ...

Racing Through Beauty

by   bethesdalily ,  May 26, 2008
Pros: Satisfactory and wholesome historical novel, captivating in places.
Cons: Not nearly enough detail, only one focus, ambiguous relationship between Almanzo and Laura.
The Bottom Line: For its wholesome nature and satisfying plot, I recommend this work; however, it is not comparable to the other books in the Little House series.
Review: WONDERFUL NIGHT, BEAUTIFUL WORLD “Twilight faded as the little stars went out and the moon rose and floated upward. Its silvery light flooded the sky and the prairie. The winds that had blown, whispering, over the summer grasses all day, ...

The Bottom Line: Some parts enjoyable, some parts boring. Torn in the middle between two and three stars.
Review: Contains some facts about the plot.

I actually have a hard time comprehending why everyone has rated this book five stars. I mean, I did not find this book completely outstanding. It took me two years to read the whole series…and I...
