Recently I received an electronic
version of the Untamed Heart by Lauraine Snelling for my Kindle for free from Bethany House in exchange for an honest review. I did not give this 5 stars in my Amazon review because, for some reason, the version I received had
an error throughout the entire book (except for ONE time) in which any word with
a double "f" in it had both the f's eliminated. Here are some examples: coffee was coee,
different became dierent, bluffed became blued, etc. When a double f word had an i
after it, the i was also eliminated, so sufficient became sucient and office
became oce. I checked the "look inside" feature on Amazon and this mistake was
not present there, so maybe it was realized and corrected after I got my copy?
At any rate, this was quite a distraction for about the first quarter of the
book until I became accustomed to the error. As for the story itself, it was a
very pleasant one and I enjoyed learning about the culture of that country (Norway) at that
time period....especially the families who had summer places in the mountains
where animals were tended and cheese was made. I felt the ending came rather
abruptly and felt a bit rushed. There will be other books to read in the series
and I might read at least one more. Overall, it was an entertaining read. If not
for the double "f" problem I mentioned, I would have enjoyed it a lot more.
