Summary: Worst Book I've Ever Read
Review: You might think I'm joking when I say it's the worst book I've ever read. Sad thing is, I'm dead serious. If every book was like this the world would have no reason to be literate. Do not waste your money or time. It's awful.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic Book
Review: Wow... This book deserves more than five stars. It is a simple tale of a boy and his to dogs. This book is very moving and inspiring. It is just a really great story and it is the best book I have read. The ending is so sad, but the moral of the story and everything about it is just beautiful.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Where the Red Fern Grows- My Favorite Book
Review: Where the Red Fern Grows is my favorite book. Now, that's something to say because I've read a lot of books in my life, most being good, but this one placed first!

It's about a boy named Billy who has the worst case of puppy love a boy or girl has ever had. He doesn't just want any dogs he wants 2 coonhounds. His family-which consists of a mother, father, 3 little sisters, and cat Samie-is poor and they can't afford to buy him a dog especially 2 coonhounds! He sees an ad with 2 coonhounds in it for a cheaper price than normal. So, Billy does things like selling vegetables, catching fish, etc. to earn money. Once he has enough money, he buys the dogs. Basically, the rest of the story is what Billy does with his dogs. If you like adventure books, this is definitely for you!

I find absolutely no flaw in this book whatsoever! I can't find one thing to say that I didn't like about it. I can say that this is the only book that made me want to cry.

This is an all-around fun book!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Still my favorite book
Review: I first read this book at the tender age of 9, and as I recently reread it at the age of 35, I remembered why this book has always held a special place in my heart. It is a heartwarming tale of a boy's love for his dogs and their love for him, but it is so much more than that. It's an uplifting story about overcoming adversity and doing it with your integrity intact through the love of your family. This book is full of overwhelming joy and sadness. I would highly recommend it to children as well as adults.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: That's what I call friendship!
Review: When I read this book I cried ( me being a girl & all). Nothing is better to express in a book than friendship, love& courage. I could understand Billy when he wanted 2 dogs,cause' I want 2 dogs too, but he didn't beg for them(well,just a little) he went and got them. Old Dan& Little Ann each expressed their love for Billy by sticking by his side nomatterwhat;that is what I call friendship.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Where the Red Fern Grows
Review: It's about a boy named Billy who finds a sports magazine at a fishermens camp and sees an add in there that selling hounds for 25 dollars each. He wanted two of them he asked his parents but they didn't have the money so he worked all summer and finally got enough 2 years later and there was still hounds available so he bought them but the owner dropped the price so he got 10 dollars back and then he went to Kentucky where he could locate his pups on the way back he go a little beat up but then somebody helped him and gave him his first can of soda pop. When he got home he trained his dogs after that they were capturing coons like a snap except they kept treeing them instead I recomend this book a lot.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Red Ferns Grow
Review: Augustus Isaiah Bouse

"Old Dan," cried Billy. I'm reading Where The Red Fern Grows which it is for people who are animal lovers and that have a lot of emotion like me. It touches places in your heart that books hardly ever touch you in. I think the author really did a good job on this book.
My first reason that I think that this is an exciting book because there is a lot of things that Billy, Little Ann, and Old Dan go on numerous hunts for example, when they went to catch the Ghost Coon and Billy's dogs got in a fight with a Blue Tick and when they had to fight the Mountain Lion on top of the ridge and Old Dan got cut on his stomach.
My second reason is that this book is adventurous because your always on your toes and you never know what's going to happen next and what time your not on your toes your either crying, laughing, or your mind is traveling to how nice and peaceful the scenery is depicted by the author. I think that the Ozark Mountains seems like the best place to be at because of the mountains and the long and narrow fields, the rivers and streams.This book also takes you on journeys by the mountain side, the town, or by the streams and rivers. I think that when they go on the racoon hunts and you never will know when they will get a coon or be fouled.
My next to last reasons is that I think dogs could be and probably are smarter than human beings. If dogs weren't smart why would they save so many humans' lives almost every day. Have you ever noticed when you tell a dog to sit it usually does. "Man!" If I was a dog I don't think that I would learn about 15 tricks.

My last reason is that this book is very sad. This books is sad because Old Dan dies and when Old Dan crawls on the porch and dies, Little Ann crawls beside him and starts licking his nose so he would wake up. I almost had to put the book down because I was starting to cry so much because I have been in his situation but not exactly by a mountain lion, but because he was starting to bite people and we had to put him asleep. I was heartbroken when Old Dan died. I felt like just getting up and running in a corner and crying my eyes like a baby.
So that is why I think you should read this book because it's adventurous, exciting, sad, and my highly opnion is that dogs are smarter than humans.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Pick up a better book
Review: I read this book in school i hated it it is soo bad. First of all it is like almost all about hunting,second of all Billy is the biggest wimp he cries over everything. He cried when he got the dogs he cried when he thought he couldn't get the dogs, he cried when he thought he scared his mother he cried when he couldn't cut down that stinkin tree for the coon. I meann i didn't like it at all.I so don't recommend this book!
