A Stranger in the Kingdom: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: New England Novel
Review: I gave this book three stars because I found it was a dramatic tail taking place in a small upstate Vermont town. However the first half of the book seemed to drag and was spent on unnecessary character development. This is definetly a good book, just do your self a favor and start reading it from the middle.

Review: I thought this book was a bit like getting on a roller coaster and taking the long slow clime and then suenlly you are set flying. For anyone who likes thrills such as a roller coaster I recomend this New England novel.

Summary: The Stanger in the Kingdom
Review: If you are not looking for an exciting novel that you can not put down until you are finished try The Stranger in the kingdom by Howard Frank mosher. I encourage people to read The Stranger in the Kingdom because it shows you how people live in a rural area such as Norhtern Vermont. The way they treat each other are fairly good. If you are a stranger, they wouldn't treat you well because you're new they don't know what you're about, so they pretty much give you a hard time so that you don't get too comfortable. I liked the book because it tells you how people live in a rural place. In rural places such as Northern Vermont they like to have little county fairs. For example when Reverend Andrews first came to Vermont many people didn't like it becasue he was a stranger and because he was black. THe climax of this story is when the murder and the trial happens. In order for you to know who got murdered and who did it you must get this book. I guarantee you that you won't regret reading this book.

Summary: Boring
Review: This book was extremely boring to be honest with everyone who reads this review. It took FOREVER to pick up. It picked up after Chapter 14 which was basically TORTURE!! The trial though was great. The author did a well done job when he wrote the trial and all that. After that the book ended up drawing you in and you wanted to know more. The only thing is that it picked up in chapter 14 as I already said and there were only 21 chapters. But the little I enjoyed I loved. I believe most people would like this book due to the trial but they will suffer until they reach there. I think the author just wrote about a bunch of stuff that was irrelevant to us the readers. Prejudice though is one of the main topics of the book and it was greatly portrait and described by the author which I do give him 5 STARS on it. Just how he wrote about the racism I picture most of the New England states being racist back in the day and a little bit still today even though not to the point of killing. I name this novel a New England Novel because of the setting and the characters and the happenings. A+ on that Mosher, but sorry I will have to Give you a D+ for making me fall asleep!
