Heart-warming, full of fun - a must for all J. Oke fans,
By A Customer
This review is from: Once upon a Summer (Seasons Of The Heart Series) (Paperback)
"Once upon a Summer" is a delightful Jeanette Oke book. In Josh she has created a loveable, true to life character. The plot gripped me from the start and made me want to read the rest of the "Season of the Heart" series. Some scenes made me chuckle and others I found really touching. The moral tone of her books are truly Christian which I appreciated. I am looking forward to reading many more of her books.

The first book in a very good series,
By Logan Wright - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Once upon a Summer (Seasons Of The Heart Series) (Paperback)
This book and series shows the struggles of an unusual family structure including: a grandfather and his father, brother, daughter and grandson. The focus is on the grandson who was orphaned as an infant and has known no other family. His young aunt is the only mother that he has ever known. As the story unfolds, the young boy has to deal with jealousy towards his aunt's suitors. The whole series is quite well done.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Cheerful story.,
By MAB - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Once upon a Summer (Seasons Of The Heart Series) (Paperback)
"Once upon a Summer" is a book that is not too serious and not excessively religious. In fact, I think a subtle point was that a person may attend church, but that doesn't mean they are a good person, and that people who do not attend church, may in fact be good people (although I doubt these are the points author Oke was intending to make). I enjoyed the character of Auntie Lou and her valor towards her feelings. I found Grandpa and Uncle Charlie's actions to be awful (concerning finding Lou a suitable husband, and not leaving the choice up to her), and Josh and Gramps' relationship heartwarming. If you're looking for a book to sit back and relax with, then this is the book for you. I recommend.

cute series!,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Once upon a Summer LP (Seasons Of The Heart Series) (Paperback)
This was a cute series. These books are written from a boy's point of view and that makes them very unique. I don't know how Oke could write in a boy's point of view so well! It was as if a boy had written the book, which is probably why this series is not overly romantic, except for the last book. It had some pretty funny parts--and that helps make a book good.I like the last one in this series the best. |
