Christine's review
Gap Creek by Robert Morgan
This book was not so bad but it wasn't as intriguing to me as the other books I read. I don't like to read about any sort of books containing rural background.
I really enjoyed how Julie, the main character just gets things done whether she wants to or not. I, on the other hand, cannot be like her because at home when I'm assigned to do chores, I do them when I'm done with my homework or if I really don't like doing it, I don't get it done at all.
Julie is a hard working woman who, had seen her father and little brother die before her eyes. They say "she works hard like a man". In the story she had to chop up the pig into pieces and have them as dinner. In my mind, I was completely disgusted when it came to that part. If I were Julie, I dont' think I can last 1 minute of chopping up that pig.
So, overall, I think this book was okay, not good but not bad. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys learning about family building and... pig chopping.. :)

I loved how you put your true feelings and opinions into the review. I really felt your connection to the story. What really got to me, what was soooo interesting about your review was about the pig chopping. That seemed like a very good way to get my attention. Good job on it!
Aw I loved that you put your real emotions in your report.I think it was very understanding.I have to agree with joseph the pig chopping part really got my attention,i liked the comparison you made with your self and the main character.
