Overall I really did enjoy this book. I liked all the characters and felt like I get to know each one of them and I got to discover each of their personalities. I kind of would like it to be turned into a movie so I can actually hear how the people would talk and how their voices sound. But, I do have my own idea of that in my head. I thought the story was interesting and the author wrote it well. There wasn't too much detail it was just enough. I usually hate reading really long books like that but this one happened to fly by. I finished the whole thing in just a few days. I would sit down and read around a hundred pages of it every day. It was so good I would think about it when I was not reading it. Which is weird for me because I never do that. But I wish the author would have written a little further on. I wanted to know what happened to Al when he stayed behind and how much longer the rain lasted. I also wonder if the family made it through the winter and how that could have possibly worked since there were no jobs for them over the winter. I could only imagine how they would handle it with that many people. I thought the ending was a little disturbing though to. I guess it proved how desperate people were during that time. People were so hungry they would do anything to fill their stomachs. I could not imagine that now since everything is so easy for us now. It makes me feel like I am spoiled. People should not had to of gone through that. That was horrible. The farmers should have paid them more. They had plenty of many they could have spared a little more to those people. They were poor and dying and had no where else to go. I got really in to this book. I think the people are actually real. I find it disturbing that people had to actually go through that.
