Bread and Roses, Too Audiobook

" already read this book, and it's really good so I'm re-reading it!!!!!!!!! "

" I loved this book because it had suspence mystery and a touch of saddness all mixed into one. Another reason I loved this book is because of the way the author dicribed how people felt back during the great strik. I also loved it because rosa trusted many people that many others didn't care about. There are lots of cool discribings, saddness that made me want to cry and much more you can find it all out if you read this book. "

" i loved this book its awesome you should read it it changed my life on how i see things!!!!! "

" I've really had a hard time finding an interesting book lately but from almost the first page of this book it had my attention captured. The characters felt real as well as their problems and I learned a lot about the 1912 strike. If you are even just a little bit interested in historical fiction than this is a great book! "

" Takes place in Lowell, MA and tells the story of immigrant families during the factory strikes. A little slow but very interesting story. Audio book was very good as there were a number of different accents between the characters. "

" I liked this book more than I thought I was going to. It was interesting to learn about how people lived during this time period. I also really liked how the book ended. "

" a little slow start but a happy ending which I love. "

" This book brought me back to the days of strikes in America and I could vividly picture everything that was going on. I could feel for Rosa and Jake and everyone else who was starving and could taste the food they ate when they received food. It brings emotion to the reader-something that history textbooks do not do. The first half of the book was slow but the second half was much better and easier to read through. "

" Wonderful tale to express these times that are so quickly brushed through in history classes (boring). The author very tactfully brings two tales together to portray one horrifying strike. "

" GREAT!! My favorite book EVER! I love this book it is so good very mature book. But it is great!! "

" Based on real events surrounding an infamous 1912 mill workers strike in Lawrence Massachusetts. "

" A touching plot with characters that could be related to by readers of a similar age, but not terribly compelling in it's writing style. Overall, a good read though. "

" Girl and boy experience life as children during the "Bread and Roses Strike" of 1912. "

" A good read, even though sometimes its hard to read about children struggling for food and clothes when we are so blessed. "

" I liked it, not that original but I still like it and it was still dofferent. "

" I liked the ending of this book the most. It was a good story, but it was hard to connect with some of the characters at first. I learned a lot about the Bread and Roses strike. "

" I'm generally not a fan of historical-fiction novels, but I had to read this for class and I absolutely loved it! It's worth a read! So adorable! "

" Just finished this novel tonite, about an hour before going to Gordon College to hear author Katherine Paterson speak. The book was great and Paterson was really great! Amusing, informative and inspiring. I am looking forward to reading more of her work. "

" Bread and Roses is a great book to learn through someone else's experiences who is struggling in a community full of strikers. There are many different themes in this book such as generosity, culture, religion, the melting pot, and striking. "

" so cute and historically accurate! i loved it. "

" This was such a poignant story, masterfully crafted. I didn't even realize some of the symbolism until the very end. I liked how there were two protagonists of varying difficulty in life and accompanying ethics, so that we could be sympathetic to one or the other or both by the end. "

" I found this an interesting story about the Lawrence, Massachusetts mill strike in 1912. "

" so cute and historically accurate! i loved it. "

" Loved reading about the strike from a kid's point of view. "

" Currently listening to this title on CD. While I am only 1/2 of the way in, I am reminded of what a fine writer Katherine Paterson is, and how vividly she can characterize history in setting, character, and circumstances. "

" I like this book so far. "

" GREAT!! My favorite book EVER! I love this book it is so good very mature book. But it is great!! "

" Interesting to learn that during the strikes in the Lawrence Mills, they shipped off kids to Vermont, Philadelphia, and New York, so they wouldn't have to starve with their striking parents. "
