As Easy as Falling Off the Face of the Earth Audiobook

" this book had realistic characters and a great plot line, but it just didn't come to life for me. the narating was pretty lax and didn't describe much to me. i guess i just didn't like lynne rae perkins' style and i wish i could have enjoyed the book more. "

" I just couldn't get into it, and I don't know why. Not the right time, maybe. "

" I remembered LOVING Criss Cross but not hearing much about this one before I started it. I listened to this, and it took awhile to figure out where the different parts of the story were going, but once I did I ended up liking it. I laughed out loud a lot, loved the characters and enjoyed where it took me. "

" didn't love it...too disjointed didn't really connect with the characters or the action "

" Loved this one! It reminded me a bit of I'll Be There in that this weird series of coincidences brings all these peoples' lives together in a fun adventure that is funny, sincere, a bit sentimental, but well worth the journey that Ry takes us on. I've already got a few students in mind for this one. "

" This is a nice book that is very easy to read. The main character runs into all sorts of problems but interestingly nice things happen because if his misfortunes. I would call this a 'coming-of-age' book and would suggest most 7th grade students & older read this great realistic story. "

" 14+ not plot orientated. Sad/Funny comical as well. Far fetched. "

" Perkins is a great writer, but the story wasn't the best. There were lines that I wanted to copy, highlight, save...but it was hard to push through the book. "

" Imagine if something could go wrong and then everything does go wrong. An adventure that is extreme and humorous. A fun book. "

" This book was difficult to finish because I found it very boring and slow moving. "

" decent story, though kinda slow going...maybe i just wasnt in the right mood for it. "

" The ending was the best. In the middle i was confused because it skipped 33 pages.... "

" Like the movie Planes, Trains, and Automobiles for a kid. Ry is stranded in the middle of nowhere, his parents are stranded in the middle of the Caribbean without a cell phone, the dogs have taken off, and Grandpa Lloyd has just suffered a head injury. How will everyone get back home? "

" There was a level of suspension of disbelief required here that I just wasn't wholly up to. Also I'm not sure enough was explained about the story lines that were, to me, the most interesting in the end. Not a bad book but not terribly compelling either. "

" It's a novel written like a children's book. The writing just doesn't have emotion and the plot isn't all that riveting either. "

" A hilarious look into the mind of a teenage boy who finds himself in dire straits, over and over. And then over again. It is definitely over the top. An excellent example of how to drive your characters up a tree, then throw rocks at him, set the tree on fire, and take a backhoe to it. "

" My New York Times review. "

" A great writing style and use of language, interesting, likeable characters, laugh out loud humor, plus clever illustrations make this book a winner in my view. Sure, it's far fetched but who cares? "

" It was very entertaining. Full of surprises! "

" Fun! Far-fetched, but laugh-out-loud funny. A story of whatever could go wrong will. Did I mention this was fun? "

" A book that will leave you wondering how and why ? When and still why ? "How will he get there, how can he do that, where is he going ?" "

" I loved the character Del. It's a great book. "

" I really liked this novel. It's about this kid who is on his way to camp and accidentally gets left by the train he's on. From there the story develops into a madcap dash to find his way out of the middle of nowhere. I really loved the emphasis placed on how life can be an adventure. "

" Delightful story with multiple laugh-out-loud moments!!! Everyone should read this book!! "

" From what I read, this book was really good. Unfortunately I just don't have time to finish it. Maybe I will pick it up again someday when I have lots of free time. (Yeah, that's funny) "
