wingedcreature 's review for:
The Yearling
by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings
Honestly, I didn’t like it at all. It’s not funny how much I could not stand this book. I couldn’t get into it, and waited for it to get better. Sadly, it didn’t get better. I’m utterly confused as to why it won a Pulitzer Prize.
I had a hard time relating to the main character, Jody. His family’s poor, and they live in backwoods Florida. I found him pretty annoying, actually. And they way the talked! The dialogue grated on my nerves, and that’s when I could actually figure out what they were saying. I didn’t understand most of what they were saying, and spent most of the book wondering what they were saying. Maybe that’s how the people talked where Jody lived, but reading it was a nightmare. Thankfully, there wasn’t a lot of dialogue, which is probably the only reason why I finished the book.
I really don’t get the point of the book. I kept waiting for something to happen…and it really didn’t.
Rating: 1 out of 5. This was one of the worst books I’ve ever read.
