Summary: Satanism
Review: After reading this book I considered converting to Satanism just so I wouldn't be associated with these people or thier creator, Jan Karon.

Summary: I didn't want to leave this wonderful town
Review: I've just finished "At Home in Mitford". Reading this delightful story and getting to know the inhabitants of Mitford during a tumultuous time in my life has given me some peace. I grew up in a small town and this story has brought to mind many memories of that time. I'm considering moving back to my hometown after living away for nearly 30 years. I want to live the simple, meaningful life found in places like "Mitford".The lives of Father Tim and his neighbors demonstrate the value of small things and the people we know in our everyday lives.

Summary: This book brings peace and tranquillity to your heart.
Review: A friend gave me a copy of this book and it has made my eveining reading time a triple pleasure. The characters are so real with rough edges and weakness they make you feel right at home. There is adventure, mystery, and suspense in every chapter. Anyone who ever lived in a small town will recognize a familiar spot. You will find yourself praying right along with Father Tim as he seeks guidance with the young Dooley, strength to face illness, and the loss of his dog. I plan on getting the whole set on tape so my husband and I can listen together. Ms. Karon is a blessing.

Summary: <Yawn>
Review: This book will appeal to a certain group of people who are offended by just about anything; truly there isn't an offensive word or situation therein (unless you count Dooley's repeated use of the word "poop"). I prefer my stories and characters with a little more depth.As for this story, I didn't believe a word of it.

Summary: Want more books like this!
Review: One doesn't need a lot of words to discribe these books of Jan Karon. I was hooked from the first page. Haven't read much in the last few years because of gorey gruesome titles and subject matter but this book has restored my interest in reading. Will read every one of Ms. Karon's books. Find myself getting engrossed and can't put book down, when I do, can't wait to pick it up and finish reading it. Refreshing! And found myself smiling and then laughing outloud. Easy to read and lessons can be learned.

Summary: A nice book
Review: At first blush At Home in Mitford can be somewhat boring. But as the pages went by, I felt myself liking it more and more. There was nothing overly special about the characters or plot or writing. Overall it kept my attention and I found it enjoyable. Basically, this is no great work of literature but a fine book to pass a rainy night. I can't quite put my finger on why I liked it but I did.

Summary: Simply the best book I have ever read!
Review: At Home in Mitford is by far the best book I have ever read! I fell in love with Father Tim and his open, honest way of life. I feel like I know the characters and could walk down the streets of Mitford as if I had lived there all my life. This book is homey, calming and charming; it makes me want to move to Mitford!

Summary: Sometimes you just want a happy ending
Review: Yes, yes, those who are saying that the Mitford characters are "flat" are probably right. I don't think that any of us are saying that these books are going to win any major literature awards. We love them because they're... well, comforting. If you're looking for books full of funny anecdotes, loveable characters, and happy endings, then these books are for you! This is the kind of thing you read after work to relax. Perfect bubblebath reading!

Summary: Boring!!!
Review: My husband and I have a basic rule for movie or television watching, and I'll pass it on to all of you : "Never keep watching a movie/program about people who are more boring than you are." After just a few chapters of Mitford, I'm ready to extend the rule to books. The Mitford people are the world's dullest! I'll never be able to finish this book, and wouldn't want to -- there are too many interesting stories in the world (fictional and nonfictional)-- why waste time with dull ones? (PS. Like the characters in the book, we live in a small southern town and we are Episcopalians. I don't recognize either the atmosphere of the town of Mitford or the characteristics of the people.)
