    Really good book
  

*by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2024*

Loved the movie but wanted to read the book to find out more. Really enjoyed it and it is so different than the movie. But still enjoy watching the movie. I found out she she wrote 2 more books and then there was a book on her life that I purchased too. She had a hard life but still wrote some funny stuff. Great author and found out how life was early in the 1940’s and 50’s. Very interesting

    An Incredible Slice of History
  

*by D***L on Reviewed in the United States on December 10, 2013*

This book defies description. I just finished a modern-day book about a woman on a chicken farm, and she had a rough life, but her life was child's play compared with MacDonald's experiences. So many reviewers have stated that they got belly laughs from every page. Apparently they aren't easily disturbed by the bizarre. I tend to be the type of person who doesn't find child neglect, heavy drinking, and all types of unsanitary habits to be laugh-out-loud funny although, grant you, I did laugh aloud in places. When Betty and her husband Bob are invited to the home of a new acquaintance who was starved for some "culture" as she puts it, I cracked up. Just don't invite me for wine and fruitcake--my stomach would rebel--sorry to say. Ma and Pa Kettle are over-the-top weird and Ma did crack me up at times.This is the type of book which will make you count your blessings. If you live in a house with electricity and tap water, you're ahead of the game. If you have a spouse who talks with you and doesn't treat you like a farm hand, thank the Lord again. If you never get so starved for company that you have to hobnob with the wild, the drunken, and the boorish, put it in your gratitude journal.This is an amazing book which covers a lot of territory and has many details which were tedious for me. The backwoods logging "industry" for example, unbelievably dangerous and crazy, and also too much for this reader. Many details she provided about all types of operations were more than I needed to know. The characters, however, are priceless. I could have read an entire book of stories about Ma and Pa Kettle or the Hicks or the lady with the wine and the fruitcake. Also, her weather descriptions are priceless. When it's dark and stormy and winter is just beginning, you'll understand why she feels so incredibly isolated.I think MacDonald gives us the impression of incredibly hard work with very few rewards. It's not Little House on the Prairie. Her husband's no Michael Landon! This book is worth reading because it will make you feel grateful for the modern conveniences we take for granted and for some of the more evolved men in the world.

    Great Story
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2024*

I really loved this book. Very easy and entertaining to read. I have been to that area many times and have seen "The Egg and I Road" and that is what made me buy this book. I really liked the style of writing and felt that I was there with her given the  descriptions of the area. I didn't find it to have rude language. Given the times and what the author had to endure I would have said worse!
