The Gifted by Ann Gabhart Book Review




My Review:

Have you ever wanted to learn more about a certain faith or group of people but find history books boring and not really that informative?  I love that Ann Gabhart does just that.

Ann Gabhart takes you into the Shaker Village.  She makes me feel like I'm a fly on the wall and I can even hear the characters thoughts.  I love when an author can bring history alive.

As much as I love the history aspect, I found that there were a lot of words in this book, that could have been left out and still make a point.  I caught myself skimming across chapters more than once.

At the end of the book, I felt like I had been left hanging.  Although some of the story had closed, I would suspect it would need a follow up to some of the characters.

All in all, I would give the book 3 stars out of 5. 

Blessings to you!  You are loved!
