This has always been my least favorite of the Little House books, just because of the depressing subject matter.
The long winter, was a very long winded book at times. I could feel the long season going by and it wouldn't stop. Still it was good book to read.
brr! nothing to make a Chicago winter feel warm in comparison like reading the long winter!
my only gripe is, why did Almanzo think it was ok to force that homesteader, who spent the entire long winter in his sodhouse protecting his seed wheat, to sell that same seedwheat, when Almanzo had an entire fake wall FULL of seed wheat IN TOWN that he refused to sell!
I understand not wanting to sell your seed wheat, but why did that poor man have to do it when manly didn't! Why did he make that handsome cap garland (best name ever) risk his life to get the wheat when there was so much in town!
oh yes I remember they did the math and there wasn't enough to get through march for all the families in town. nevermind.

I think this is my favorite of the series when Laura is young; just getting through that miserable winter was probably one of the most memorable things I read in my life. And it’s the book in which Almanzo steals Laura Hart, because of his heroism.
Quietly suspenseful for one of the Little House books. The second half is particularly grim, but I love the sinister tone and the way Almanzo's story begins to blend in. I also love the darker side to Pa's character and Ma's.
