Summary: Where The Red Fern Grows
Review: Where The Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls is a well written book. It is about a poor boy and his relationship with his two dogs. Billy and his two dogs go hunting and have some exciting adventures. Together they captured coons and had exciting fights. Can Billy and his two dogs win the gold cup for best hunting dogs?

Summary: Great book
Review: Where the Red Fern Grows is a fantastic book. I really enjoyed it. It is about a boy who sees an ad left by some fishermen about some young hunting hounds. He saves up enough for a couple 3 years and walks for two days to claim his new pups. He hunts every night and very dramatic events occur in Billy's life. I cried a lot and enjoyed this book the entire time. I think that this book is a good choice for anybody who enjoys a great heartwarming story. He is attacks and his dogs stand up for him and protect him. They have two loves, him and each other. Championships are won and much is lost in the world of ringtail coon hunting. Good Reading!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BEST BOOK
Review: Where the Red Fern Grows is literally the best book I have ever read. It is a terrific story written by Wilson Rawls about a boy named Billy that has a craving to own his own hounds. The craving becomes so bad that he begins to sell berries and such to fisherman just to make a very little amount of money. If you are the kind of reader that enjoys a good book about true love and animals then this book is perfect for you. If you're wondering if Billy ever achieves his goal of getting his two hounds then I highley recommend you read this book. !!!It's the BEST!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An emotinal rollercoaster!
Review: When I first picked up this book I thought that it looked like a good book just from the cover of it. I'm 13 years old and a dog lover. At the beginning I knew how Billy felt getting the feeling of needing man's best friend. He ends up saving money to buy two coonhounds and from the beginning you can tell its going to be a great bond. I'm not going to tell you anymore because it'll ruin the story. This movie will fill you with joy and will rip your heart out. I admit that I cried at the end and I don't know how anybody couldn't. One of the best books ever!!!!

Summary: A book about all that is right in this world
Review: This is my absolute favorite book. I have to thank my sixth grade teacher Mrs. Diane Stofferahn for introducing it to me. She read the book aloud to my class and then I did not read it again until I was in college. During my second reading I was in tears in the college library--not just because it is a sad book but because it brings out a large range of emotions. You feel pity, joy, excitement, sorrow, and most importantly, love. Rawls writes about what he knows and he knew the life of a country boy. The book chronicles the adventures of Billy, his family, and his beloved red bone coon hounds. If you haven't read this book since your childhood, you will be glad to read it again as an adult. The themes in the book make you wish for a simpler time in life when a boy's best friends can be his father, grandfather, and canine companions.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Great Book From Opening Page to the Back Cover!
Review: I don't normally read these types of books, but I'm glad I decided to pick up this book. Lots of people were recommending this book to me. This was a great book from beginning to end. I was very pleased with the way the author put this book together. Mr. Rawls had a great balance throught the entire book.

This is an excellent book for anyone who likes dogs. The author makes great connections between a family's country life and nature. This book has plenty of adventrous parts. For example, this eleven year old couldn't really be guilty of murder because he loves his dogs too much could he?

I would highly recommend this book to any person who likes dogs, adventures, the outdoor life, and hunting. All these things tie together and have a great mix in this book.
