Christy

by Catherine Marshall



This is one of my mom's favorite books. My older sister just finished it as she was visiting and left it for me to read. The first week I could not put it down! I thought it was wonderful. Then I kinda thought it was dragging. Then it picked up a little bit but then at the last page I thought "what! that's it? it can't just end like that!" I do not like to be left hanging. Overall I did enjoy the book. It was written well and the characters certainly left their impressions with me. It was good to see a glimpse of life in the mountains of Tennessee in the early 1900's. The one thing that left me most frustrated though was that this story was a mix of fact and fiction (based on Catherine Marshall's mother's experience). I really want to know what parts were true and what happened after the last page!
