Stays in the memory bank.
I first read a beat up dusty old copy of "The Keeper Of The Bees" when I was 10 years old,in 1958. To say it impressed me is an understatement. The story stayed in my memory for years, a very comforting memory. Around 2003 I purchased a copy from Amazon and, 45 years after first reading it, I was just as delighted the 2nd time around. My wife says it is old fashioned, but that didn't worry me none. I reckon it is still a beautiful tale. Perhaps I'm old fashioned too.

One of the best fiction novels ever!
This is a beautifully written, poignant novel of a dying soldier finding life and hope. Morally uplifting, it has drama, interest and one of the most elusive qualities of all, believability.You won't be sorry you read it!Gene Stratton Porter was superb in her descriptions of nature.And I learned more about bees than I would have if I picked up a textbook, all while in the midst of a gripping tale of hope for the hopeless.

Keeper of the Bees
This book has a nice moral tone without being too over the top preachy.The basic message of living in harmony with nature is still applicable today.The language and moral tone, sadly, is not.If you enjoy old-timey stories and are interested in experiencing a flash back to how the world once was, you will enjoy this book.The first half is better written than the second half, but worth finishing.Perhaps Mrs. Stratton-Porter died before she was able to finish revising, this was her last completed novel.

Keeper of the Bees
I have read this book before and loved it.It was in our home library and I lent it out and never got it back.I have been longing to read it again after so many years and got it in time for Christmas.It is a book that is relevant today just as it was then.The writer develops the characters so well that they become a part of you.I would recommend this book for anyone from teen years on up.Lynn Betts

The Keeper of the Bees--Excellent Read!
I hated for the book to end.The lovely descriptive language Statton-Porter uses brings the setting to life.It shows a grasp of human nature as well as how strong the desire for life is...With our current war, it also brings to mind how veterans deserve to be treated for being willing to keep us safe at home. ...

Fascinating and eminently readable!
This well-researched book documents the fascinating 1960s, and how the dramatic societal changes in America played out on one college campus.The book is academic, but so filled with anecdotes and personalities that it is a page-turner.

I was in the thick of it
I was in the thick of it from fall of 1969 through summer of 1970. I worked for the Spectator and wrote a few articles. I marched in the demos. I was part of women's liberation. It was the most important year of my life. I went from being mild-mannered grad student to a person who questioned everything. It took me years to come down from the experience of being at IU at that time. The book is a good factual account of what happened but doesn't quite convey the unbelievable experience of watching the world change in front of your eyes. It was just a wonderful time.

It made me feel just like I was there -- wait a minute, I was!
This book is fascinating!While I was never an activist, I was a student at Indiana University in the mid-60s, and I recall everything of what the author had to say about the times as being very accurate.When I went to I.U. as a freshman in 1963, women students still had a curfew, and male students had to take two years of compulsory ROTC.I put in my two years of ROTC (grudgingly) and then discovered that student "activists" had successfully campaigned to make it optional.It made me wish I had been more of an activist myself, and I would have been able to skip the second year of ROTC like they did!What I found most compelling about this book was the author's accounts of how student activism increased and changed after I graduated in 1967 and left the state -- wow, did it ever!This is a well-researched and well-written book and will be enjoyed particularly by anyone who is familiar with the time and place.Those who are not will also benefit from learning more about this socially and politically important era.It made me want to go back and visit Bloomington, Indiana all over again.

Well Worth Reading
Mary Ann Wynkoop has written the definitive history of Indiana University student dissent in the 60's. I know first-hand most of the people and events of which she writes, and can say from personal experience that her book is accurate, sensitive, and reliable. This book will be of interest not only to present and former IU students, but to anyone who is interested in the American anti-war, student protest, civil rights, and early feminist movements of that time. ...

Thought provoking treatment of true friendship.
Although not my absolute favorite Gene Stratton-Porter book ( The Keeper of the Bees would have to earn that honor), I found At The Foot of The Rainbow to be quite rewarding reading. The characters, setting,dialogue/dialect, and virtues are classic Porter; the issues and values aretimeless; and the thought provoking manner in which she concludes her storyleave one considering their own lives on a deeper level.Well worth a fewhours of reading(one of her shorter novels) and several more of soulserching to follow.A highly recommended book for young and old!!!!!!!

This is not one of her best!
This book does not have the quality that I am use to reading in her books.If you want to read a really good one, read "The Harvestor" or "Freckles." ... Read more
