interesting, delightful and cunningly witty.

Personally, I love all of Enright's books, and this one is the perfect quirky start to the incredible Melendy quartet, Pamela Dillman reads beautifully and very expressively, she portrays each character perfectly. I have re-visited this Audiobook a million times over, and quote it constantly, this and any other of Enright's books suit me in any mood. I highly recommend this book for kids who feel that they don't have enough siblings and for long car rides when you're tired of hearing the same rock playlist on repeat.

fantastical and believable

Revisado: 07-29-19

We love this series, riveting, the right balance of detail and suspense to stay engaged. Our kids are early elementary school-aged and this is at the top of their reading comprehension level and well above current reading abilities. Investing time and audible credits in this nearly 100-year-old anthology has been the best way to get away from tv fodder this summer.
The Walker children are never the victims of their circumstances, are thoughtful and kind to each other, own their mistakes without being crippled by them, eagerly learn difficult sailing and navigational skills, and are the high-quality character and role model I hope for in literature. While the story was a life or death tale, Ransome kept his whimsical and realistic tone. We did dialog with our kids about the secondary storyline about keeping information from the mom until she could understand the whole story without fear for her kid's lives and how the scarcity and expense of detailed communication was a deciding factor (when international calls can be made with small cost from our personal devices today). In summary - spellbound lesson to "use your brain and call your mom".
We love Alison Larkin's narration. There could not be a better job than her dramatic and clear reading with her distinguishable (never annoying) voices for each character.

Perfect for young dreamers

Revisado: 01-31-19

My 7 year old loves this series. It's perfect for her age and interests. There's just enough "suspense" to immobilize her for the 30 minute reading, but not so much heavy handed drama that she's emotionally wrecked (when overstimulation happens, it's tough on all of us). I appreciate the authors effort to set the scene with descriptions, it's a great example for my daughter's creative writing development.

Great Book - Well Worth the Time

Revisado: 07-17-12

If you could sum up What's So Amazing About Grace? in three words, what would they be?

Grace isn't natural.

Who was your favorite character and why?

God, we misunderstand him deeply. We try so hard to do Christian living the right way when it's as simple as breathing. When we mess up, God forgives.

What three words best describe Bill Richards’s performance?

Unedited, breaks, good

Any additional comments?

Please do not hesitate to buy this book because Bill Richards' reading was not edited well. The content of the book and the tone with which Bill reads makes up for the post production stuff. This book is mind changing. God is so renewing, not so demanding.
