Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Stories of my ancestry Comment: Sibling Reveries is the story of my father and his family, and their memories of growing up in Wisconsin during the Depression. These are the stories I have heard all my life (and some I hadn't heard); happy stories of skating on the pond in winter, sad stories of Grandma losing a baby, and even the story of walking to school through 10 feet of snow, uphill both ways. (We've all heard that one!) The best part is this is also my story and it's all here, waiting for me to read to my children and grandchildren. What could be better. I highly recommend this book to anyone who cares about family. Customer Rating: Summary: good times, hard times Comment: I grew up in a rural area, hearing stories about The Depression from older friends and relatives. It is now 2005 and in the last 6 years I have read one book, Sibling Reveries. It was co-authored by the father of a co-worker, and it is one of the best books I have ever read. The story is about the Killinger family, friends, and relatives, growing up in Northern Wisconsin during the Depression. Life was much harder then, but also more carefree. To me it was like a combination of The Waltons, Andy of Mayberry, and Huck Finn. I highly recommend this book (and I would read it again........but I only read one book every 6 years;) Customer Rating: Summary: Cherished Memories Comment: To have almost total recall of one's childhood and be able to put it into words so eloquently as the Killinger children have, is indeed a gift! A must read for ANY generation!! Customer Rating: Summary: Fascinating historical biography Comment: When I first began reading this amazing first-hand account of growing up in rural northern Wisconsin during the Great Depression, I couldn't put it down. After reading about ninety pages, I finally forced myself to take a break and finished the book over the next two days - it's extremely unusual for me to be so captivated by any book. The authors have provided us with their accounts of growing up in "hard times" in an unforgiving environment. What I found most remarkable is that there is never a sense of regret or a hint of self pity. Instead, the stories relate a sense of the importance of family and faith. This is an autobiography, but it is also history, sociology, theology and pragmatic philosophy. It is certainly the most inspiring book I have ever read, but it is also funny and dramatic. I highly recommend it for all readers. Customer Rating: Summary: just like home Comment: stories just like mine and so real! Kids will be kids and these really were normal kids. A wonderful book of stories. More Reviews
