Title: No Star Nights by Anna Egan Smucker, Steve Johnson ISBN: 0-7857-5809-7 Publisher: Bt Bound Pub. Date: October, 1999 Format: Library Binding Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $16.45 |
Average Customer Rating: 4 (2 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Outstanding evocation of place
Comment: I agree with the "Strong regional appeal" reviewer but think the book deserves five stars. After reading books to my daughter for six years, I keep coming back to No Star Nights as the best evocation of a place now forever changed, a way of life virtually erased from the American landscape. Anna Egan Smucker's writing is spare but rich. Every image rings true. The pictures capture the atmosphere of a steel town beautifully but do not make it pretty. This is a powerful, graceful book.
Rating: 3
Summary: Strong regional appeal
Comment: The style, from a childs viewpoint, describes the elements of life that would be important or noticed to someone growing up in PA, WV, and OH industrial regions. It brings back many memories as I too grew up in this area. What really makes this book special to me are the illustrations. Not bad for a guy from MN. It seams as though he too was from this region. In closing, I own this book and if I ever lost it I would buy another copy. I like to read it to my kids and share it with my fellow 'Burghers
