This is different from Janette's other books, but it's great. Oke's writing is once again impeccable. I love her.

1.0 out of 5 stars What drivel! Aug 7 2002
By Leah
Format:Paperback
Could anyone POSSIBLY take this book seriously? Honestly, the characters are annoying and whiny, not to mention upsettingly unrealistic! I laughed through sections I'm sure were meant to be emotional, sensitive scenes. They certainly didn't come across as touching scenes! I hope to heaven that anyone who finds this book puts it right back where they found it, without wasting an hour on it like I did. Although, at least with fluff like this you haven't wasted a LOT of time. It only takes but a few minutes to skim through this book. Even so, it probably took less time to write it. There was obviously no effort put forth. Is there really a Janette Oke, or is that the name of a junior high writers club that has a connection to a publishing house? I almost hope it's the latter, because if it isn't, Janette Oke DEFINITELY missed her calling- maybe she should take up gardening, or painting and leave writing to true Christian romance novelists, like Lori Wick or Lauraine Snelling. I recommend these writers to anyone who is looking for a good book with substance. You definitely won't find that here!!

3.0 out of 5 stars The narrative is missing something Sep 25 2010
By Marly6206
Format:Paperback
I have read well over 30 books by this author and have enjoyed them. This book was missing something for me that I can't really put my finger on. I enjoyed it but with every page I was expecting more on the fate of mail order brides, their reasons for doing what they did, how they coped in their new lives, hardships with their new partners or life in general, etc. This book made it look rather rosy an experience. There was something about the book that just felt tired and rushed over like a person who doesn't know much about a subject so obvious things were skipped and other story lines weren't followed through. I felt no invested interest in these characters. At the end of the book they find God. I felt no joy for them because they seemed so 2 dimensional as characters I had a hard time feeling that they were in any way "real" people. I'm sorry but this book did nothing for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 stars is pushing it, but it's not worth 3.
"A Bride For Donnigan" was one of the better books by Janette Oke, and started out very interesting. But, there are some hills of good and bad. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad
This book started out very good. The last few chapters were terrible. They never gave Donnigan's age but they gave Kathleen's age. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Bother
That's about all I'll say- just don't bother. It'd be a waste for this to sit on your shelf. It's kind of like a trashy beach romance novel without the trashy part. Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars I didn't get far with this one
I didn't get very far reading this book. I didn't read about Kathleen's relationship with Donnigan because I was throughly disgusted with her character by Chapter 3. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars As much fluff as a bag of cotton balls
If you're looking for a quality read, don't pick up Oke. On the positive side, there are no curse words or lurid sex scenes. Read more
