A review by melissarochelle
Little Century by Anna Keesey
3.0
Me, Esther, and Pick had a rough go of it. There were moments I loved this book -- the conversation between Esther and Ben about Grant Goodwell -- and moments when I did not love it -- the random, in-depth talk of a war that played no real role in the overall story.
So I liked it, but I can't really praise it. Yes, the writing was beautiful, but I could have used less of it at times, you know? I probably should have known I wouldn't love it when the description compared it to [b:My Ántonia|17150|My Ántonia|Willa Cather|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348295344s/17150.jpg|575450] instead of say...[b:Lonesome Dove|256008|Lonesome Dove (Lonesome Dove, #1)|Larry McMurtry|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1266507527s/256008.jpg|3281465]. (I really didn't like the Cather novel when I read it in high school, I should give it another chance.)
