I didn’t read the whole thing, just cherry-picked parts I was interested in. Her writing overall is amateur and dramatic in my opinion, but keep in mind she’s a woman of her time.

DNF.

I had to read this for my Canadian Literature class about a year ago and I couldn't finish it. I read about 50 pages before I just gave up and read any summary I could find so that I was prepared for class. Honestly, it felt like a book filled with random anecdotes that were unrelated to each other.

I won't be trying to read this again. I'm just glad that my prof didn't assign Roughing it in the Bush!

Bland, long, and plotless.
