Book Reviews of Magic Hour

I LOVED this book. It was fascinating, engrossing, and uplifting because the author made me care about the characters. Even though I cried several times I was happy with the ending. This book is unforgettable!!!

A mysterious child who cannot or will not speak has turned up in the center of town, high in a tree and clutching a wolf cub to her chest. She is a very rare case, a feral child, raised in the wild by wolves and no one knows what to do or how to find her family. Julie Cates is a child psychiatrist works to bring her into a civilized world.
The author pulls you into Alice and Julie's struggles from the beginning and it is one of the most heart wrenching and powerful books that I have read. You become emotional tied to the character and feel their triumphs as well as thier failures and setbacks.

I could not put this book down once I started it. It's a story of a little girl who is essentially feral, her search for help when she realizes she needs it, and the woman who helps her learn to fit into society. The patience and love exhibited in this story are heartwarming and the strength of both the little girl and her therapist is inspiring.

An amazing story of the resilience of the human spirit, hope and finding love where you least expect it.

I loved this book & couldn't put it down. Fascinating story of a girl found in a small town seemingly from no where. Without giving to much away, it's very interesting to discover her story & how it unfolds. Very heartwarming.

This is a wonderful novel of discovering love of all kinds. I couldn't put it down and after finishing it I had such a good feeling inside. I highly recommend this book.

I have loved everything I have ever read by Kristin Hannah but this one was, by far, my favorite one yet! A wonderful story about a little girl who wanders out of the woods and the child psychiatrist who helps bring her out of her shell. LOVED this one and hated for it to end!

This was an awesome read...this got me started on all the other books she has available. This is a must read.

This was a GREAT read! Everything went on 'hold' for 2 days until I could get to the end of this intriguing story.You will LOVE it!

I loved this book! I was hooked from the first page, only put it down to go to work, cried at the end, and was sorry when it ended.

Marvelous characters that you really care about, an unusual but totally believable story and wonderful ending.

Highly recommend this -- you'll love it.

Don't forget the Kleenex....heartwarming and heartrending all at the same time.

Wonderful story - and a child you can't help but fall in love with. The basics are that from the heart of the nearly impenetrable darkness of the Oregon National Forest, a 6 year old girl appears, mute and alone. This is the story of the woman and the town that saves her.

Another good Kristin Hannah book! Haven't read any of hers I haven't liked yet!

Ist book I have read from this author and really enjoyed it. I liked the twist that was woven in.

A very good book. It kept me up late finishing it last night as I just couldn't put it down.

Kept me riveted, ending was a little disappointing ...

I loved this book so much!! I couldnt put it down.

Such a heartwarming story. First book I've read from Hannah and it wont be the last.

This is a wonderful book. I thoroughly enjoyed it from page 1. This is the first time I've read this author, but I'm sure I will read more.

I'm new to this author, and I'm enjoying her very much. This won't be my last Hannah novel.

This is the first book I read by this author. The story line was a little far fetched, but it was still a good read.

decent read. about 3/4 of the way i got a little bored. but the good ending.

Excellent book, one of my favorites this year

Very good.

I really liked this book. The main story about the girl coming out of the woods is a little much (in my opinion), but the way the author wrote the story in the end it seemed believable. I really enjoyed the characters and the author's style of writing. I will read more of her books.

I loved this book!

This was a great book. A pyschiatrist who just lost a patient to suicide is called to her hometown to help a young child who has been living wild in the woods. She has to try and find out how the child came to be in the woods, teach the child about the world, how to trust, how to love, and try to regain her own reputation back in the process.

Gripping novel - good read.

A young girl is found in the forrest. A female doctor begins to work with her, and the 2 develop a bond.

I couldn't put this book down!!! The story is THAT good!

An amazing story. Goes right to the heart!!!!

I couldn't put this book down. The little girl, Alice, will tear at your heartstrings.

EXCELLENT BOOK. I BOUGHT THIS OFF OF AMAZON.COM. IT DOES NOT HAVE A DUST JACKET TO IT.

Very intense book. A genuinely new premise, very thought-provoking. The ending was a little too quick for me.

EXCELLENT book! Could not put it down!

Good read but not too deep of a novel.
