Customer Reviews

Read This Book!

Johnny Farrell's Journeys was written from the heart and soul. The novel is a blend of every kind of mood from fear to romance. You can almost hear the characters talking in your mind as you read the southern dialog, and imagine the life-threatening situations Johnny and Picker (along with Mathias, and the children from the Manley's wagon train) get into. Page by page, the characters are introduced into new breathtaking situations, such as being held hostage on the Mary Louise ship to being caught in the middle of a tornado. The ending is surprising! This novel is well written and humorous, straight from the imagination of Gene Hopwood. His love for the wilderness and knack for writing has allowed him to compile wonderful work. The novel is educational in allowing young readers to get a glimpse of life in 1852. Though this novel is targeted to young readers, I can tell you the novel is good enough for adults to read! I highly recommend this book.

Johnny Farrell's Journeys

This is a great book for adults and children. It kept me completely glued from beginning to end. Although a fiction, it is very credible, well researched and historically accurate, making it very easy to wrap your immagination around. This book would make a unique american history teaching tool helping younger and older folks to appreciate the experiences of the Great American Immigrants.

I'm not a reader of books, but once I started this one I couldn't put it down. I can't wait for the next book. Excellent book for children and adults.

Journey to Adventure

Johnny Farrell is a young man with his eyes on the future. Having no ties left in Pennsylvania after his pa is killed on a logging raft, Johnny sets out to see the world on a raft of his own toward the great Ohio River. From that moment on, Johnny will have few peaceful days as trouble stalks his every step on the way to the Gold fields of California. Poor in everything but spirit, Johnny fights back and learns fast how to stay one step ahead of evil bounty hunters, enemy Indians, posses, revenge seekers, the hangman's noose, and pure bad luck. Along the way Johnny's good deeds pay off in the form of some great friends, Picker, a runaway slave, and Sarah, whose life the boys save on the long road to freedom. If you like action books and Western history, Johnny's Journey is for you. The accents in the book are a little hard going until you get used to it, but don't let a little thing like that stop you from a fine tale of courage and unforgettable characters.
