I didn't check on the third book. <br /><br />I read a review of <i>Peder Victorious</i> that said it lacks the clear voice/viewpoint of <i>Giants in the Earth</i>. Maybe it's that muddiness that makes it hard to read. <br /><br />Five out of <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=h1OGX0oKKPYC&sitesec=reviews" rel="nofollow">six reviews</a> on Google Books agree with you.Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-18182132269197516822012-03-10T06:49:02.418-06:002012-03-10T06:49:02.418-06:00Giants in the Earth, a wonderful book to discover ...Giants in the Earth, a wonderful book to discover realities of pioneer life on the Midwestern plains. The settlers' dreams, victories, and defeats can break a heart. But I never managed to finish either of the books that followed, Peder Victorious and Their Fathers' God. Perhaps I just like the story about Per Hansa and his discovery of America.<br /><br />These books are very hard to find these days, even in public libraries. I guess they're much too old-fashioned, too hard to read for Twitter readers.Roberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376129469472319074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-978400881244216092012-03-09T18:32:00.453-06:002012-03-09T18:32:00.453-06:00I like the unexpected visual treat!I like the unexpected visual treat!Collagemamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03818246340865714754noreply@blogger.com
