Welcome to Litsy!

Thought provoking. I loved the story telling and seeing how the lives of the three protagonists intertwined despite being set decades apart. Definite pick

I'm not much of Non Fiction reader. I prefer Happy Ever Afters, Mysteries, and Kick Ass Women saving the day. But I saw interview with Dr. Jean M. Twenge and was intrigued.

While there were lots of charts and graphs, that I didn't study too closely, overall I found this a fascinating read. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 stars out of 5.

Jean M Twenge, PhD reviews year-over-year data to better understand what makes each generation unique.

Culture ✨ Technology ✨ Impact

An interesting concept that felt bogged down by personal opinion and self fulfilling conclusions.

I wish I had read this sooner.

I give it 4 stars only because it seemed to be a bit overwritten. For me, much of the information could have been summarized instead of fleshed out as deeply as it was.

We are in the 4th turning. Much of what the authors say is possible is proving prophetic. It's scary.

Worth reading.

History is cyclical. This explains the cycle. Looking forward to this.

“. . . in the home where twelve children were raised, where they ate and slept and worked and played and laughed and loved and grew quite old, where they'll live one, now, in this book that you hold, like the stories will, so long as they're told“

I enjoyed reading this book and trying to spot every detail of the illustrations. I think they add lots of layers to the story. The power of storytelling is shown throughout the book as the family grows old and moves out of the house. I would use this book in my classroom to spark up a conversation about what students' lives and families are like.

This book is a story of a large family growing up in farmhouse. The book describes how they lived and enjoyed each other's company. The book gives a look into the family's daily life. The illustrations are expansive and detailed with elements of collage. The illustrator uses line and space to represent how the character's in the story are feeling.
