  • Pulitzer Prize winning Agrarian Lit
  • In the early pages of So Big we learn that So Big is the nickname of Dirk DeJong, a young man who has long outgrown the childhood name from his mother, Selina. At this point I figure that the novel...

  • Timeless Influence of THE RIVER
  • Ferber's timeless story of love, ambition and family dynamics remains as compelling today as when it first appeared in 1926. Providing an imperious yet insidious backdrop for the three main female...

  Giant (Perennial Classics)

  • From:Amazon
  • Posted:Nov-24-2008

  • One of my all time favorites
  • I love Edna Ferber and I love this books. It's one of my all time favorite novels. Giant is a bit long, and does drag on at times. (The movie is long too- but it's not exactly like the book).

  • Mediocre
  • Unlike many adaptations, the movie Giant is far better than the book. I found nothing but flat characters and gross oversimplification of Texas history and culture. It was a quick read, but it...

  • Alaska Statehood Story
  • Edna Ferber's book, Ice Palace, is a well told story of Alaska and its long journey to statehood. This book written in 1958, was just one year before Alaska did become a state.

  • ICE PALACE is probably a teenage girl's novel, as the main character is a young woman "coming of age". The pedantic "facts about Alaska" would also probably be better tolerated by a young reader,...
