“I didn't find this one quite as compelling as the first volume of Fables. But I still love the basic idea of the storyline enough to be pulled along. I find it interesting after a couple volumes to find personalities developing in the characters beyond their initial fairy tale personas. In this particular story I found Rose Red's character confusing and very inconsistent which detracted from my understanding of the story and the subtexts at times. The artwork continues to be outstanding.”
“I confess. I found this pretty captivating. The materialism and the whole shopping mentality doesn't resonate with me at all but the book was well-written and so humorous that it kept me enthralled as a book-on-tape during a couple long car rides. I really liked it and now, about 6 months later, I can still remember it! That's longevity for a light, frivolous read.”
“I had a hard time getting into this book. It wasn't a bad read, but I picked it up and put it down about 30 times in a month before I actually finished it. It wasn't as captivating as I would have liked and the story didn't really go anywhere for a long, long time. Not my favorite book in what I would classify as a "light read" category.”
“The Little House books were some of my favorites and The Long Winter was at the top of the pile. A long, treacherous winter tests the Ingalls family in new ways and they rise to the occasion. I'm re-reading it at the moment. Somehow the Little House books (except Little House on the Prairie which was my least favorite) never get old.”
“I listened to this in audiobook form and thought it was great. Engaging, interesting and the story is sticking with me even now several weeks later. ”
“One of my all-time favorite books as a child and i've reread it, as well as the rest of the chronicles, several times as an adult.”
