Review # 1 was written on 2011-06-27 00:00:00 Edward Natsuhara This was terrible. Where was the editor? Almost as wordy as Longfellow's poem, and with less emotional payoff. It's such an interesting story...the book succeeded in conveying the endless tedium of Evangeline and Gabriel's journeys--and lives--but really, I can get tedium anywhere. I don't need to travel to the 18th century for it. And what happened at the end? I feel like I have to read someone else's novel to understand this book.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-08-29 00:00:00 Amanda Johnson Hideous. That is the only word that is fit to describe this bumbling attempt to translate the beauty that is Longfellow's "Evangeline" onto the pages of a trashy AND boring (that's quite a feat!) novel. Shame on the author. Do yourself a HUGE favor and stick with the classic. p.s. Why can't so many male authors realistically WRITE women? guh.
