2.0 out of 5 stars Uninteresting Chatter - now available in paperback!, June 30, 2009

This review is from: Again Calls the Owl (Mass Market Paperback)

I read this book some years ago. As a sophomore in high school I was required to read Ms. Craven's novel, "I Heard the Owl Call My Name" and loved it. Needless to say when I saw this book and the author's name, I was pretty excited.

Unlike "I Heard the Owl Call My Name," "Again the Owl Calls" is a biography of the author and is in no way a sequel to the prior novel. As a few of the other reviewers mentioned, Ms. Craven does recount personal tragedies and triumphs. Quite a bit of it, however, feels like dry chatter with Grandma about a mundane day she had in 1957 when she worked for "that guy" in his office.

The writing itself is good but much of the subject matter is bland. I found the book disappointing and couldn't recommend it to anyone except those who really yearn to have small talk bound in book form.

4.0 out of 5 stars It focused on accomplishing your goals no matter what!, April 27, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Again Calls the Owl (Mass Market Paperback)

Margaret Craven really emphasized the fact that no matter what you go through you can still accomplish your goals. She got blind from an accident and then did what she could to fulfill her dream, to write 2 more books. One about the Indian Life and the last one about her childhood days. This book was just an enjoyable biography!

Well I only bought this book because my class required it, but as I read it, it became an interesting book. But it only makes sense if you read the first book titled, "I heard the Owl call my Name".
