1.0 out of 5 stars
she may be a best-selling author, but not with this book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Westward Hearts: The Amelia Dale Archer Story (Hardcover)
When I read the jacket cover I was intrigued. Unfortunetly, it was all downhill from there. The editing was horrible. At the beginning, one of the main characters, Tom, was traveling with his parents and twin sisters. Later, he just had one sister. Sometimes you couldn't tell what person a dialogue was refering too. Example: the girl in the Indian camp..who's her father? Could be one of 3 people from the info they gave me. And the dialogue on the whole was very childish and sometimes seemed to beat to death a subject that had nothing to do with the story. You don't feel for the main character as she trys to blackmail her way to California. "You're going to give me an escort or I'll tell your superiors what a poor Colonel you are!" Or, to the Catholic priest, "Why won't you perform my grandaughters' marriages? Because you're Catholic and they're not?" (All of this ad-libbed) And the first 2 Indian attacks, oh well they only lasted a few minutes and no one got killed. Shall we be on our way? The best part of the story and the only reason it got 1 star was the most tragic/shocking part... Save your money, or at least preview from a library first.
