1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, August 9, 2005

By 

Evie M. (Brisbane, QLD, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Winter (Point) (Mass Market Paperback)

Disappointing is probably the best word I can find for this book. There are a lot of questions left unanswered, the plot is somewhat rambly, and the situation that the main character (who struck me as very flat and shallow, a strange thing for a John Marsden character) is in raises too many questions for it to be believable or flow properly. I was quite shocked to find myself not liking this book at all; especially since I'm quite a big fan of Marsden's other works.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Winter Is Moving On..., August 24, 2005

By 

Elise "Rorzz" (Victoria, Australia) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Winter (Point) (Mass Market Paperback)

This book touched me so badly, I cried. It has a beautiful, entrancing plot with an exciting climax. Winter is a likeable and richly textured character. John Marsden is one of the best authors of all time! If you read this book and dislike it, there is something wring with you. Warning though: this book is a tear jerker. I better finish up here... I'm off to the library to renue my copy. ;)

5.0 out of 5 stars Tough Girls Finish First!, March 18, 2003

By 

"nabbott6" (Scottsdale, AZ United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Winter (Hardcover)

At sixteen Winter has come home. Not that anyone wants her there but the farm is hers and she won't be stopped. But for all her bull-headedness and the reader's wonder at why she's so stubborn soon becomes apparent when Winter sees better than the adults do what is really going on on her land. We thrill to Winter's cleverness at finding the guilty freeloaders and tossing them out on their ears.
The memories that have been teasing Winter about her parents are also chillingly brought to life by her Great-Aunt Rita.
Through it all we think that Winter will be just fine. And we're sort of glad she gets to be a kid again, too.
