Let the Hurricane Roar

Rating:
Summary: Knowing the history helps
Review: R.W. Lane was a writer LONG before her mother ever picked up a pencil. While The previous reviewers found Let the Hurricane Roar to be very similar to the LIW books, there is a reason. R.W. Lane based her novel on her grandparents' experiences in homesteading. (It's not surprising, then, for people to find similarities....) What is surprising to most people is the fact that the Little House Series was virtually unpublishable in its original form -- until Ms. Lane edited her mother's very basic manuscripts, giving them style, flow and poise. Her own career ended up suffering terribly from this devotion to her mother. I found Hurricane to be vastly superior to the LIW books (which should rightly be credited to RWLane, as well); the content, pacing and structure were far better developed, as were the characterizations. Brilliant depiction of the trials of homesteading on the plains.

Summary: Very good
Review: This book by Rose Wilder Lane is good, but too much like On the Banks of Plum Creek, by Laura Ingalls Wilder, Rose's mother. But it's a great book anyways! Buy Now!

Summary: I loved the book
Review: This is a good book but if you are expecting it to be written in the style of Laura Ingalls Wilder's series, you have a surprise coming. Rose Wilder Lane is a good writer, but in an extremely different style from that of her mother...

Summary: This book is great!
Review: This is a really good book, and although it's similar to books written by Laura Ingells Wilder, it's not that similar. Even though the characters live in a house very much like the one described in 'On The Banks Of Plumb Creek,' it is most like 'The Long Winter.'Even though it is similar to these two books, it doesn't matter because except for a few minor things, it is completly different from the original Little House Books.
