This review is from: Carl Sandburg (Twayne's United States Authors Series) (Hardcover)

This person seems to be more interested with Sandburg's writing than with Sandburg. But he definitely has respect for Carl.

This review is from: Carl Sandburg (Twayne's United States Authors Series) (Hardcover)

Carl Sandburg was a very boring book, to me. It was a biography on a railroad man named Carl. This book started out with a chronology of Carl Sandburg's life. Carl was born in the 1860's and died in the 1960's, at the age of 93. After the chronology of Carl's life, the book resumes onto the beginning of Carl's life. He began as a cheap railroad man. Then, one day when he was about 25, he struck an oil well and became rich. Following, he paid for college and became a great college professor. He taught college until he retired at the age of 85. Eight years later, at the age of 93, Carl Sandburg died. I believe if this book was fictional with a little bit of adventure here and there, it would have been much better. Also, if it had som action at all, to me, the book would have been much better. Overall, I give the book Carl Sandburg, by Richard Crowder, 2 stars.
