Book Review of Little Heathens: Hard Times and High Spirits on an Iowa Farm During the Great Depression

To me this book was ok. It was not a story that was told, more a random group of thoughts and memories reflecting a life lived in Iowa in the mid 30's. To me the randomness and the constant recipes made this book less than enjoyable. This is a good memoir for the author's children, grand children etc, but not for others, it just did not flow and the material, though interesting, could not hold your interest for long.
