Book Reviews of Christy
Book Review: A captivating lifetime favorite! Appeals to many ages.
Summary: 5 Stars
The made-for-television movie adaptation of this story first attracted my attention to this book. I read Christy three times in a very short time period - as soon as I reached the end, I simply turned back to page one. Over the years, I've read it many more times. It is the innocent and inspirational story of a young woman who finds love, knowledge, and happiness in her walk with God. The author's descriptions of the characters and rustic Appalachian setting are captivating, and Christy's romantic struggles make it difficult for the reader to set the book aside unfinished. I recommend this book to anyone age 12 years or older, but I especially recommend it to those individuals who truly cherish the joy of "curling up with a GOOD book." Of note, the videos and the juvenile book series based on this story are quite good as well.Book Review: A future classic!!!

Summary: 5 Stars
Christy, I felt, was really sentimental. Christy's love for the children showed how much she deeply cared. I liked the fact that the entire story is based on Catherine's Marshall's mother, just as Julie is just about based on Catherine's life. The ending though seems a little disappointing-it doesn't go far enough. We know they got together by the foreward, but the ending doesn't seem enough. I want to know more? What happened between the ending and the foreward? I just love this book and have read it more than I can remember. Miss Alice was such a warm person that you want to get to know her. The parson, David Grantland, seemed like a dream (especially on the television show!, but I think he didn't really know what he wanted until the very end. The doctor, Neil McNeil, seemed so dashing and rugged. I am glad the ending turned out as it did. The t.v. show of it was really interesting eventhough it didn't exactly follow the book. My real problem with it is that I missed the last episode! My mom watched it and said it left you hanging with Christy trying to decided between the doctor proposing and David with a ring right in front of her. I missed it! Aaargh!Book Review: A story of true LOVE
