Willa Cather - My Ántonia II

"Hard read."


"BOOOOOOOOORING."


"I love to write and I love to read. But there's only so much I can read about the open prarie and immigrants"


"I thought 'My Antonia' was long and confusing because of all the things the story referred to that people today no longer use ... Another thing is, the Introduction alone was aproximately 14.5 pages long!!!!"


"I find that this book is best for an older audience that doesn't have much going on or simply a person who needs no excitement in their life. This book I imagine would be great for a person going through a mid-life crisis trying to decide when they got old and lost their youth. I on the other hand look for a story that makes me think a little bit more about un-knowns of the world not just a rehashed love story that puts me to sleep instead of leaving me begging to go on."


"I will never read any of this woman's books again. It should be a crime to even call her an author. It should be a federal offense to call her a good author. I don't know how this book got published."


"I hated every page of this book, and think that any good reviews given to it came from the worst lying scum to ever deface this planet we call Earth. I suggest not buying it. It isn't even worthy of the 1 star that I gave it."


"Now, I'm sure many 'enjoy' this based on the hype. The fact that this book got published, let alone highly reviewed, astounds me. I would not give this anything greater than a C- if a 12 year old wrote this. I think that this is an example of people believing it should be good because it is old."


"AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"


"Yet another chick flick.
Don't read it. It is somewhat interesting to a certain degree, but is almost right down there with Sense and Sensibility. Jim Burden falls for a foreign girl, who is older than himself, named Antonia. Turns out, she gets pregnant and screws herself up really good."


"reading it for most teenagers like myself is more like a tourture"


"Ugh this was the worst book that I have ever read I hope that this woman is retired so she dosn't scare us with another horrid book. This book has absolutly no meaning no theme or anything. My English teacher assigned this book to us which shows how bad a English techer she is. This book is an insult to American Lititure. Please throw this book in the garbage.The only reason I gave this book a star is because of the picture.It dosn't even deserve that."

Willa Cather - My Ántonia

"This book sucks. Suckity sucks."


"A tour de force of shit."


"It is narrated by Jim but seemed to focus a lot on Antonia!"


"I detest the new 20th century fad of writing a 200 page book in which NOTHING happens, and relying only on character developement and good diction to sell it. Oscar Wilde, Shakespeare, Mark Twain, Edgar Allen Poe, Chuck Pahlaniuk and a majority of the best writers in history knew that stories depend in part on the plots that they revolve around, and for a book with such glowing reviews and critical praise, it reads about the same way one would imagine a detailed, first-hand account of a waiting-room in purgatory to read. The only thing I learned from this story was to never, NEEEEEVEEEEER live in Nebraska. After reading this, I contend that living in Nebraska is easily a fate worse than death."


"I'm not sure if I finished reading it, or if I threw the book at the wall because who gives a crap about Red Wheat? Yeah, I'm sure it's a beautiful look at prairie life or wherever the hell it was they lived, but if I wanted that I'd watch old reruns of Little House on the Prairie on the Hallmark channel (which, believe me I have)."


"Not a intriguing story! Its like ice cream without fat or sugar, it lacks everything good. This book isn't read for pleasure. This thing is the ultimate English teacher's revenge!! Thank goodness they made a movie so other teens won't have to read that sad item!!"


"For one thing, Ms. Cathers elaborates in the details of people's lives way too much. Do I really need to know so many things??"


"Well not only is American history highly boring compared to the lengthier histories of the rest of the world, this book irritated me in the same way the Puritans annoy the hell out of me."


"Gosh darn it - I didn't like this book. I got lost in all the adjectives. Maybe I gave up too soon, I only ready like 30 pages, but I skimmed through the book and it seemed to continue to have the same amount of adjectives."


"I got to the part with the backflash with the Russians driving the wedding party on the dogsled...I thought it was funny, but it wasn't supposed to be funny."


"just too deep for me and I didn't feel like thinking about it."
