My POV on the EMIGRANTS  

Me and my fiance have recently finished reading the first book in a collection of four books,the book is called The Emigrants by Vilhelm Moberg and it is about a group of sixteen Swedish emigrants who get tired of their hardships and life in the old country and decide to embark on a journey across the ocean to the new world of The North American Republic,the book was divided into two parts,the first part was about their life and them deciding to take the voyage,and the second part of "The Emigrants" was about them being at sea on the ship Charlotta,which is a small ship with only a little room,and is not very healthy and the Captain is a man who does not like being on land,as they made the long and and treacherous journey to find homes on a new continent,the book ended with the ship arriving at the Harbor of New York where it tied to the pier The second book which is entitled "Upon A Good Land" starts out with them on the ship, after three days the emigrants were able to leave the ship and they hire a Swedish guide to translate the American language for them,and the group of sixteen who loses a member at sea,end up gaining an elderly woman who is going to see her son,and they are on their way to Minnesota,but to get their they have to take a steamer from the Harbor up the Hudson to Albany,which has a little bit more room but the emigrants are still tightly packed together but they at least have air to breath,and then they have to take a steam wagon from Albany to Buffalo,which they all fear because of the fire and smoke,and again they are crammed together,and the doors of the cars stay locked to keep anyone from falling out,and then from Buffalo they have to take another steamer from Buffalo to Chicago,and they had just gotten on the steamer which has a lower deck for poor people,and the upper deck for richer people,when we stopped reading,these books are very interesting,and I can not wait until my fiance reads me more from Upon A Good Land and we have also recently ordered the third book which is called The Settlers and hopefully it will get here soon,so now the questions Has anyone finished reading a book that had other books to go with it?What were the books about?How long have you been reading the book?Did it make you want to buy the next book in the series?I will appreciate anyone who takes the time to respond to this discussion,and I will also appreciate anyone who approaches this discussion with complete seriousness,and give me straight and honest answers,and I promise as a fellow mylotter,I will comment back on all responses I get,but my comments will only be as good as the responses I get, have a great day.
