The Forest Family, March 7, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Forest Family (Hardcover)
I found The Forest Family very difficult to understand. There was such a mixture of stories thrown together -- everything from biblical (Ruth and Naomi) to King Arthur. I couldn't identify what the author was trying to communicate to her readers or who, really, was her intended audience. Even though this book was in the children's section of our library, I wondered at times if the themes or message weren't adult in nature. Pages 72 - 74 focus on "What does a woman really want?" I found myself asking why I was reading this book to our 8 yr. old son. I was as perplexed at the end of the book as my son was (yes, we finished it). Although I do not believe in censorship, I question whether or not this book should be advertised and promoted as a children's book.
