Book Reviews of Goodnight John-Boy
Book Review: A Writer's writer.
Summary: 5 Stars
Goodnight John Boy is all I hoped it would be and more. This book answers most of my questions about the Waltons, the characters and the actors behind them. It tells about individual episodes and how actors felt about them. Someone in the book talks about the series as for writers and he or she was very correct. The character John Boy is the one that got me started journaling and then writing poetry and essays. It is also for families and anyone else who wants to read it Every video of the Waltons I have seen and now this book pushes my inner writer to write for the enjoyment of it as well as the hope to get published. Now I just want to meet Mr.Hamner, Richard Thomas and the actors who played those parts. I love storytelling also and will definitely recommend it to writers and storytellers.Book Review: had to read it before giving it as a gift
Summary: 5 Stars
I was a baby when this was on the air.. but recently i have been buying the walton dvd's for my parents as gifts, and got hooked on the Waltons as a result (wathing with mom is great bonding). so for my mom's birthday i decided to buy her this book (since season 4 isnt available yet). I was sure to order it in time to read it before i had to give it to her and I Love it, i will order the two movies Earl talks about that lead up to the series.. and i had NO idea he was the producer of the version of Charlottes web i adore. This is a wonderful gift for anyone who loves the waltons.Book Review: How Interesting
Summary: 5 Stars
When I found this Book I was so pleased and excited. Being stuck way out here in Australia we don't always get everything from America. This especially is the case if the TV Stations don't get ratings on a show they don't show it and this was the case with the Waltons. It ran for awhile and then stopped and I never saw the end of it. The Book was interesting as it listed the episodes I never saw and brought me up to date on the Characters. I am a real movie buff and I also love biographys so this book was a great source of information and reading for me.Book Review: If you like The Waltons.........
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful book if you want to take a walk back in time to Walton's Mountain. A nice way to be reminded of all that was good about this homespun show. The "extras" are all the interesting photos and facts from Earl Hamner himself and others involved with the show. The writers and actors comments on "behind the scenes" is interesting. I do think you have to be a pretty big fan of the show to really value this book. Overall, a fascinating read about a show that we could use on the air now.Book Review: Good Night John Boy
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always loved the Walton's. I have been enjoying watching the reruns on the Hallmark channel each morning. I bought the book to go along with the shows I have been watching. It is a great little book for anyone interested in this 70s show. I am 61 now and seem to be getting alot more out of the show than I did 30 years ago. The book helps me get a running idea of the development of the show since the reruns jumped from year one to year 7 in a three week period.
