The Coldest Winter

Rating:
Summary: Not one of my favorite books
Review: To be honest with the public, this was not one of my favorite books. The Coldest Winter was very slow and hard to read. Frankly, it didn't keep me glued to the pages. When the potato famine hits Ireland, Eammon and his family are forced from their land. The book shows how the family overcomes all the obstacles in their way.

Rating:
Summary: A book to remember.
Review: True enough, the book starts out slow (as do most stories), but this story gives you a new outlook in the minds of some females in urban life. It touched me. I am a Black female from a suburban life and have oftened wondered why do my fellow race-mates feel that that is the life for them. After reading this book, I feel an incredible empathy for them now. The book was raw enough to feel that you were there, and real enought to KNOW that you were there. The only reason I didn't give a 5 star rating is, I wasn't moved in the begining. But from mid-point on, I was hooked.
