5 comments about Udder Confusion.
- Gosh, I liked this book. The stories told caused me to think back on the stories my grandmother used to tell me about homesteading in Alaska. Many of the stories she told are strikingly similar to the stories told by the author of this book. Striking to the point where I must consider whether these stories could be classified as original. I feel this book would be a valuable addition to anyone's home library. Especially if one could manage to get a copy free like I did.
- I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It has everything you could want in reading material, action, adventure, drama, humor, and that unique spirit that makes it truly Alaskan. This book is a great representation of how things used to be and in some respects how they still are. Nothing beats small town, Alaskan life and nothing beats my Grandma!
- It is rare in this modern age of cynicism and apathy to find such an example of family values and caring as was portrayed in the pages of this matchless work. Turn one page and be touched by a family ceaseless struggle to make it in "The Great Land", turn another and be refreshed by humorous vignettes of homestead life, turn another and be moved to tears with memories of a REAL family ( so much like my own) that laughs together and works together. Ms. Lincoln has truly captured the American spirit is this glorious telling of one family's dream.Second only to the genious who wrote this book, must have been the one who illustrated it. From what I have seen, this illustrator will surely go down in history as the greatest who ever wielded a crayon! READ READ READ!
- This book was well worth reading but even tho they move to Alaska and build a log cabin on their homestead they don't live off the land. Eventually they build a dairy farm.
The husband has to hold down jobs till they get the dairy farm going. I guess I expected more of a "live off the land type book" All the descriptions of picking wild berries and catching salmon makes your mouth water !! Inspite of the silly title it was pretty good.
- I would encourage you to read this stunning portrayal of life in Alaska and heartwarming affirmation of the power of the American dream. It often reminds me of stories my own grandmother used to tell as I sat at her knee. "Udder Confusion" is a must read for anyone who isn't a baby-hating Communist. You aren't a baby-hating Communist, are you?
