review 1: Honestly, this was more 2.5 than 3 to me. I am not sure I can quite say I liked it but it only took 40 minutes to read, the writing flowed along easily, and there were a few good lessons. I actually felt like this could be adapted in to a good talk for a youth group. There were about 4 things that she learned from watching the moonflower that were good observations, but the fact that she talked to it and pretended it talked to her just seemed like a way to make a story for a church magazine long enough to be published as a stand alone work. I also thought it was a bit hokey pokey at times, a little too much drama about her ADD and about the lessons she learned, too many moments where she is weepy. I do appreciate that she is a deep thinker, and really looked at the world a... moreround her and tried to learn and grow. I cannot say anything was wrong with the writing, maybe the format just didn't connect with me as much as a more straight forward approach would have.
review 2: Oh great! Now I have to plant a flower that blooms at night, try to prevent the snails from eating it, put a bench in my yard facing it, and talk to it while I serve cookies to my neighbors who stop by to see what we're up to. (That was all said using my sarcastic voice.)A really nice little book. I'm fascinated by moonflowers and really do want to plant one. Doing so may bring me as close to Amish simplicity as I'll ever come! less
