Summary: Review of Washington Avalanche 1910
Review: I selected the novel because I'm a hopeless romantic with completely idealistic thoughts and expectations of love and relationships. The novel definitely fit the reader in this case. If you're not a romantic don't read the book, but if you are, it's a tear jerker and heart flitter. I was taken with the character of Ginny. Ginny escapes her stepbrother who is trying to take her inheritance by marrying her off to a scoundrel. On the train, Ginny meets Virginia who is also escaping her abusive father in a sense. She is part of an arranged marriage to Nicholas Bennett. Since Virginia's father is abusive, and her father arranged the marriage Virginia asks Ginny to switch identities with her so that she can check Nicholas out before marrying him (She assumes that Nicholas must also be like her father.). Nicholas checks out to be a great find for Virginia, but Ginny and Nicholas fall in love before the switch is revealed.

Summary: could have been MUCH better...
Review: After reading San Francisco Earthquake, The Great Chicago Fire, and others in the series, I anticipated that Washington Avalanche would be a great read. I was, to say the least, a little disappointed. The story is about a girl named Ginny who escapes from her evil stepbrother Stephen by train. She meets Virginia, who's on her way to meet a fiance she's never met. Nicholas [the fiance] surprises them when he boards the train to meet Virginia. Ginny and Virginia switch places, allowing Virginia to see who Nicholas is before she marries him, but Ginny falls in love with Nicholas. She does something horrible with him before he finds out the truth about the swtich. Then the avalanche happens. The ending is very sad, and it wasn't morally right, so I'm pretty disappointed. I'm disappointed with the choice that Ginny made, and the fact that the book seemed to support the choice was pretty bad. I wouldn't recommend it for younger readers, but all in all, it was an OKAY READ.

Summary: A terrific series that is a "must read"!
Review: I have enjoyed all of the books in this series so far. Washington Avalanche, 1910 is no exception. Two girls, both named Virginia, meet be chance on an ill-fated train ride through Washington state. Neither of them realize that the outcome of their meeting, and the results of a plan they hatch to disguise their real reasons for this train trip, will change their lives forever. This book is full of romance, history and sadness (this was a horrific accident in American history), but I found it enjoyable and a good read.

Summary: Not as good...
Review: I love alot of the books by Cameron Dokey, but frankly, this one was a disapointment. I love her style of writing and this book was very informative and had some really fun parts. But I was surprised and sad to see how morals were twisted and made to seem acceptable. This bothered me immensly and I didn't like the end at all. It didn't leave a feeling of satisfaction when I finished it and I was even a little angry. I felt that the book lacked consequences to the immoral behavior. I didn't fall in love with the hero, as I usually do in books, and the herorine didn't impress me. She isn't a role model I would choose for myself. This was an interesting read and I learned more about this tragic event in history, but I probably wouldn't give it to my child to read someday. If this review gave too much of the story away, I apologize. But I felt that I should warn someone in case they feel as I do.

Summary: Great book!
Review: I love this series. I now own all of the books and I have read each of them over and over. I would reccommend these books to just about anyone. They captivate you from the beginning, and are hard to put down. For anyone that doesn't really enjoy reading, these are quick and easy reads and I guarantee you'll enjoy them.

Summary: Delightful
Review: I was very pleased to read this charming, delightful story based on a horrible tragedy that took 96 lives. Of those 96 lives, my great-grandmother, Sarah Covington was one. I know my mother and her sisters would have loved this book.

Summary: A Good Read
Review: This book is an interesting story about a young woman who trades places with another young woman because she is afraid of meeting her new fiance that she has never seen or talked to. It turns out that the man is actually sweet and charming, so the first young woman wants to trade back places, but they have already lied to everyone, so it is too late. The end is sad, but also happy as well. I recommend it to all historical fiction fans.

Summary: The best book, Washington Avalanche, 1910!
Review: This book is the absolute best! It is about a girl named Ginny Nolan and Virginia Hightower. They decide to switch places, so the plan was that Ginny would be Virginia Hightower, and the real Virginia Hightower would look on at her fiance, which she has never meet, so that she would get to know him, but the plan fails and Ginny and Virgina's fiance fall head over heels for each other. This book is the greatest because it traps romance, suspense, and historical fiction into one great book!

Rating:
Summary: Really really good!
Review: This book was really really good and is one of my favorite books ever. It's even better than Hindenburg, Cameron Dokey's other book in the series. This book was romantic and exciting and at times I was nearly crying. I reccomend this book to all fans of historical romances.
