tamunra 's review for:

The First Four Years by Laura Ingalls Wilder
3.0
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot

 I found all of the other Little House books to be informative, and story-like. This book, in contrast, disappointed me. It felt like a bullet diary of wins and losses. I mainly came out of it with a vast impression of Almanzo's poor financial luck (some caused by his idealism; others, by circumstance).

Reading some of the other reviews, apparently this was published posthumously, and would not have been a bit different otherwise. I wish that was clear before we started it. It's certainly a lackluster finish to the series.
