This autobiography is not for all book clubs. It is a wonderful selection for Laura Ingalls Wilder and Little House fans. The annotations in this book show meticulously research. The amount of work that went into the annotations is amazing. However, to really get the most out of the book, you need to not only read the original text written by Laura Ingalls Wilder about her life but also the annotations. There are so many annotations that it can be overwhelming. It is a long process to read this book. The actually text of the autobiography is not difficult to read, but most of the unknown and most interesting information comes from the annotations. Because of the format of the book, not all book clubs will be interested in reading this selection. It's a treasure for Laura Ingalls Wilder fans, though.
