no

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Yes, when the ripper and rory are in the abandoned tude station.

Even though this is a YA book, i found the story entertaining and compelling. This book kept me guessing and the suprise ending was amazing. I look forward to Maureen Johnson's next book involving the Shades.

If you could sum up Garment of Shadows in three words, what would they be?

Spellbinding, intriguing, captivating.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Garment of Shadows?

When Russell lost her memory, what happens when Holmes finds her, and whether or not they get away from thier kidnappers.

My favorite scene takes place in the medival underground prison. As long as you are not claustrophobic, the scenes that take place underground are memorable and intense.

Yes, i couldn't put this book down. I finished it in two days.

Any additional comments?

The Russell / Holmes books are some of my favorite. Being a Sherlock Holmes fanantic, I find these books fun and refreshing. I can't wait for the next one to come out.

I would let al capone shine my shoes

Revisado: 06-13-12

What did you love best about Al Capone Shines My Shoes?

I liked the plot best, and the fact that it followed "Al Capone does my shirts" cronologically.

What other book might you compare Al Capone Shines My Shoes to and why?

I can't compare this book to any other I have read. It is a unique piece of historical ficton

What does Kirby Heyborne bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He brings the characters to life with the inflections of his voice. You cannot get this by just reading the book.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book made me laugh and cry. Parts of the book are very funny and others are very heart wrenching.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed both Al apone books very much. I hope the author writes more of these books. Although these book are considered to be for young adults...I found this one hard to turn off.

Al Capone can do my shirts anytime.

Revisado: 05-05-12

Would you listen to Al Capone Does My Shirts again? Why?

I would listen to this story again, even though it is a book written for young adults. Anyone who know an autistic person will find this story interesting and you find yourself routing for Moose and his sister.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Al Capone Does My Shirts?

One of the most memorable moments was when Moose was in charge of calming his sister down.

What about Kirby Heyborne’s performance did you like?

Kirby did a great job, and found his choice of voices very interesting.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. Although i didn't listen to it all at once, i found it hard to put it down and listened to it in 3 parts.

Any additional comments?

I am planning on having my 10 year old son read the book.
