The Wilder Life: My Adventures in the Lost World of Little House on the Prairie Audiobook

" Was a little slow for me to get into this, but ended up liking it. I had no idea about this resurgence of Laura tourism. McClure's descriptions are funny and, sometimes, poignant when she connects to her memories of her recently deceased mother. Also, enjoyed learning a little of the historically accurate truth of the Ingalls family travels. "

" Good, but not "laugh-out-loud" funny as touted. "

" This is a bookclub pick, but I can't finish it. It's part literary review, part blather. Not compelling at all. I'm going to read LHOP instead. "

" I loved this book! It was really fun visiting the Wilder sites with Wendy McClure. "

" Fun quick read. If you are any sort of Little House fan this is a must read. "

" A fun read. I kind of wish there was a similar one for "Anne of Green Gables" fandom. More representative of my obsessions. "

" After reading this book, I considered making a road trip like the author does, but decided against it. Good book, though. "

" If you love the Little House Books and were obsessed with everything Ingalls this is the book for you. Brought back so many fun things about my childhood. "

" Silly read about her travels to trace the path of Laura Ingalls Wilder by visiting the sites she mentions in her books. Some good background on the writer and the series for die-hard bonnet fans. "

" Fun summer read for Little House fans. It is written in the Julie Julia style. Author Wendy McClure tries to revisit her childhood love of Laura Ingells Wilders books by visiting the homesites, cooking and churning butter. "

" Now I know more than I ever cared to know about LHOP. "

" I love immersive journalism, I love funny women, I loved the Laura Ingalls Wilder books. Guess how much I liked this book? "

" Great fun, especially for all of us "Laura" fans! "

" I think it's hard to truly enjoy this book without having read the Little House book series as a child. "

" Oh boy. This was a great book. Brought back lots of memories and my love for the Little House On The Prairie books. Added bonus....laugh out loud funny at times. Thanks Wendy McClure! "

" Cute, fun, revisiting of the Little House books. If you loved them as a child, you'll totally relate to the author as she examines the books and the people in them, and visits all the different places in the books. You'll learn about all the bits of reality that were left out of the books.... "

" I liked this book... but for some reason it took me forever to read. When I was reading it I enjoyed it but I just never felt like picking it up. "

" It wasn't what I thought it'd be but it was still a wonderful read for anyone who was obsessed with LIW books as a child (or adult). "

" Anyone who has ever wanted to either live in another time period or become a character in a favorite book will love this. And if you were a fan of the Little House books when growing up, you'll truly enjoy this book. Cleverly written, fun and entertaining, yet insightful. "

" A fun, breezy, odd kind of book. I enjoyed learning more about Laura-world and thought that McClure was a charming, if somewhat disorganized, narrator and travel companion. I end up reading a lot of these "project" type books and being disappointed, but enjoyed this one. "

" Loved this! It was a very quick read, but felt substantial all the same. Funny and charming, with just the right level of meandering/diversions/tangents. I now wish to make a similar Anne of Green Gables pilgrimage and write a similar book. "
