Where the Red Fern Grows: With Connections

Summary: A book that realy hits home for me
Review: I first read Where The Red Fern Grows when I was 13 years old. I had seen the movie on several occasions, but it wasnt untill the sad death of my own Old Dan that I felt that I just had to read the book. Like the Coleman family, mine was very poor living in the dried up south east Texas oil fields. Many was the time that My only companion was my dog Old Dan. Many was the time that the only activities there were for me to do was going exploring through the woods that surrounded our home for miles and miles. I would find it hard to believe that anyone cant find some part of this story to relate to. Before I read Where The Red Fern Grows, I had never read a book in my life. Not only did I discover a wonderful story that I was almost living out myself, but also I discovered a massive love for reading. All I can say is that you are selling yourself short if you dont read this story. I think I'll go pick up my copy and read it again.

Review: I thought that Where the red Fern Grows was a wonderful, heart warming book. I felt that the author really felt as if he were the characters. It was like he was telling the story from a different perspective. Wilson Rawls did an excellent job writting this novel. I would definatly reccomend this book to others. Especially children beetween the ages of 9 and 12. This book is a great way to learn how much you have, and how much you should be thankful for. It also teaches people how much times have changed and how lucky we are to have all the things we have now.

Summary: I know where the red fern grows.
Review: In my opinion this is a wonderful book. It shows what a great place the Ozarks are and how great it would be to grow up there. It is a very intereasting book with great uses of imagery, similie, metaphors, and personification. It shows a great love and friendship between a boy and his dogs. Billy never knew when he bought those puppies how much they would help him.

Review: This book about was a great book about how a Boy named Billy "NEEDS" two coon dogs .How he gets them and the adventures that they have together.
I loved this book I could not put it down it is a very good book.
My favorite part is when Billy,Grandpa,Dad,Old Dan, and Little Ann are on the Coon Championship, and the dogs run right through the cam and the men are yelling for them.
I love this book and allways will.

Review: This book, like many of my favorites, I first read as a child. It touched me deeply then and I still enjoy reading it now and again as an adult. The author did an amazing job of weaving the characters and story into a very heartwarming lesson of family and gratitude for the people and things in life that make it all worth living. I will purchase this book for my 8 year old son this Christmas and recommend it as a great book to read with your children as a forum for teaching thankfulness and that family is the most precious gift of all.

Review: Where the Red Fern Grows is a beautiful story. The story has excellent descriptions. The Ozarks seem like a beautiful place to live. It just shows how much effort one little boy put in to buy his hunting hounds. The end of the book made me cried. Where the red fern grow is the best book I ever read. I don't think anybody could dislike this book. Wilson Rawls is an excellent author.
