Book Review of The Diary of Mattie Spenser

The Diary of Mattie Spenser
mommy2girlz avatar reviewed Might not be what you expect...but it's still good! on + 13 more book reviews


When I picked up this book I was expecting a "Little House on the Praire" type of book. If you are looking for that kind of book, this is not it. It is gritty and at times graphic, I assume a realistic version of the Colorado Territory in the late 1800s. Don't get me wrong, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, it just wasn't what I was expecting. It has interesting characters and learning about life during that time period was fascinating, I could hardly put it down! I hope to read more by this author! It is a fast read and I highly recommend it!
