Published in 1919 by the Columbus-based Lutheran Book Concern, The Wonderful Valentine; or, Tom Gettmor and His Troubles is a brief sixty-one pages, and, much like its predecessor, does not feel like a complete, stand-alone story. Rather, it reads like what is is: the second chapter of a longer story about how Tom deals with his troubles and eventually (one assumes, given that it is Christian fiction, and written by a Lutheran pastor) comes to a better understanding of his faith, and a more observant practice of his religion. That hasn't happened by the end of the book, despite the narrator hinting that Tom's troubles will lead in that direction, so I can only assume that the spiritual resolution of the story occurs in the third and final installment of the series, His First Thanksgiving; or, What Made Tom Gettmor Thankful. Leaving that aside, this one was not very satisfactory, even on the surface level, with everything resolved so smoothly and swiftly, that the narrative almost feels more like a recitation of the outline of a story, rather than an exploration of the full tale. This is the fourth book I have read from Walter E. Schuette, whose work interests me, but I wouldn't strongly recommend it, as it lacks even the modest charm of his non Tom Gettmor books, such as A Circular Christmas.… (plus d'informations)
