One of the best books I have read this year. It stayed with me long after I had finished..
I accidently read these books back to back and was glad that I did. Two very insightful stories about achieving personal heights that based on their circumstances most people would not have thought possible.
Am I the only who wasn’t completely in love with Educated? It was fine. Its a interesting and very hard story but I thought it was just okay. Im glad I read it but will I read it again? Definitely not.
I was surprised by the ending. Loved the book. Passed it on to my daughter in law.
One of the best books I've ever read.
Excellent story, well told. Great descriptive narrative.
Truly a great read from cover to cover. This book is inspiring to anyone who picks it up. Through all the struggles and pain she went through she kept going on.
Really enjoyed this book! Very vivid writing made the book come alive. The ending was perfect.
Spirited writing that leads an incredible tale of a hero. I was surprised at several passages. Which was highly enjoyable.
I actually really liked this book. It took a while to get into but then I couldn’t put it down. You could picture the book perfectly in your head because of the descriptions.
Fascinating and upsetting all at the same time. I couldn't wait to finish it so that I could be done with it. Glad I read it but its not on my list of books I would want to reread.
Where the Crawdad's Sing #368 pages or 12 hours 12 min. Delia Owens is a Zoologist that wrote this historical fiction mystery book. It's about a young woman named Kya, (coming of age) who's left to raise herself in the marshes of North Carolina when her family abandons her at a young age. Owens are connected to a real-life murder mystery from 1995, when she and her then-husband, Mark Owens, were doing conservation work in Zambia.I spent 6 years of my military childhood living in Southern Georgia...
Enthralling and heart rendering, a story that everyone should read, the life of Tara Westover is an inspiration to all who have a difficult family life. Her childhood was filled with the challenges of parents with a mental illness that drove them to concealment of their abuse but also with love and loyalty to ones own. Her life is a mixture of the triumph of determination and the anguish of loss.
Both books, Where the Crawdads Sing and Educated are excellent books.Both personal journey stories of a young woman. One fiction. One fact!My editor asked me to read both books, as comparables to mine.So we will see?While I see some similarities, I see lots of differences as well.Blessings,Michael Richard
Prefer "The Glass Castle" - similar plot line but more diverse stories.
Am I the only one who was not impressed with Where the Crawdads Sing? It was so unbelievable for me on so many levels. The main character has no formal education and she suddenly is writing and publishing books? She becomes completely independent at the age of what 7? I get the attraction to the description of the landscape. I love nature and have a spiritual connection with it so gave it 2 stars. But my fictive dream was broken so many times by how unrealistic it seemed. Finally, I love poetry
