These Happy Golden Years by Laura Ingalls WilderMy rating: 2 of 5 stars
Starts off well, like most of the other books. Though she's still going to school, Laura has work-related adventures as a teacher and begins to grow up. Mary is progressing at college and all of this is great.
Then Pa spends all her teaching money, IN ADVANCE, on a musical organ. Yuck.
Then page after unromantic page about boring Almanzo Wilder and his dangerous unbroken horse.
The ending is particularly bad, and I almost imagine her at the end, sitting outside her cabin, realization dawning in her eyes that she's made a terrible mistake.
