4.0 out of 5 stars Comfy escapist reading, Mar 19 2004

By	A. Brown "VeddyVeddyBadAng" (Ohio, United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I almost never read books of this genre - they're usually way too sappy for me. I'm more of a historical novel kind of person - I like a lot of real characters and angst and war and to learn a little something while I'm reading. But for some reason, this series really started to grab me, especially after the second book. True, the characters don't seem to have any real problems and they all care for each other equally and live in an impossibly idyllic little village. But then again, maybe that's WHY I like this series so much. It's a vacation from my typical reading list - if I want to take a breather and read something that makes me happy and calm and transported to a fantasy-land that almost crosses over to reality, I take a trip to Mitford.

As a Catholic, the whole "we're all happy Protestants in this town" can get to be a little wearing after a while, but it's also a nice reminder that there are still people of faith and moral uprightness out there. That might be another reason this series appeals to me - I live a basically religion-free existence, thanks to popular American culture, and that's okay for the most part. But at the end of the day, I often find myself longing to reassociate with religion in a non-invasive way, and these books do that for me with their gentle spirituality.

If people are expecting to read books with depth and underlying tensions and hidden hatreds, you're not going to find that here. I consider these books "vacation" from everyday life, and the heavier fare that I typically read. They are sweet and simple and take you to a place that you just might be able to create for yourself someday.

1.0 out of 5 stars Karon plays with characters the way little girls play Barbie
As you read this, you might find it hard to believe that at heart, I'm a sucker for warm hometown tales. I still watch, and enjoy, Andy Griffith reruns; Mayberry rules! Read more

I came to these books in a backwards sort of way. Most of the people I know who are reading and loving Van Reid's wonderful Moosepath League books read Jan Karon first. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Relaxing and non offensive
These books are relaxing and non-offensive. Nothing terribly exciting, but who needs that all the time? A good read for Christians. Life affirming.
