Dope Sick Audiobook (Unabridged)

" The mysticism is weird, the ending doesn't make sense, the overall feel is too preachy. "

" A story of an inner city youth who's taken the wrong path. As usual, Myer adds a nice twist to make this one somewhat magical and exceedingly dramatic. "

" theirs always one thing we wish we can change in our past. and we hope for a secound chance. in the book dope sicks talks about just that. about a young boy's redemption for the wrong that he did . how a drug deal went wrong and how he's on the run from the cops and can face alot of jail tiime. it talks about one teens harsh life and the every day struggle in city lifes. this book would be great if you feel you have no chose. it can show you opptions that one can make about their own life. "

" This book is very hard to get into but i didnt really care for it because it was very unrealistic because you would never get another chance like he does in the book. I am more into mystery an murder books so this wasnt really my cup of tea "

" i didnt really like this book it skiped abound in a unnatural way.. i guess i just couldnt get into it.. "

" I had to read this so I can do a discussion group with some high-schoolers. Usually I like Walter Dean Myers work, but I didn't like this one. For some reason it just seemed to go on and on and take too long to get to the point, and it's a SHORT BOOK. I could have read it in a matter of hours and it took me a couple of weeks. I just couldn't hang in there. Part of the problem was that there were only 2 characters and there was nothing to make you like them. You could understand them and where they were coming from, but there wasn't that sense of involvement that makes you really into a character in a good book. It wasn't exactly preachy, but I definitely felt that the characters were there to influence your thinking in a certain way. Maybe I would have seen it differently if I was involved in that kind of lifestyle, but being so far from that in my own life it just seemed like preaching to the choir. "

" This book is an amazing book, but I think some people that like live in towns and out in the country wont quite understand some of the street talk in it. I also think that it's more for mature people, and people who like mystery action sort of thing. "

" If you can relate to this book then maybe its the book for you. ''Dope Sick'' by Walter Dean Myers was a very slow book about a young black male living in the hood. When a drug bust goes sour he finds himself in an abandon building injured and dope sick. "

" A bit of magical realism set in Harlem. I didn't love it, and I certainly didn't love the ending, but it raises some good points for teens. "

" I like this book because it is about this teen caught up in some stuff and hides from the cop "

" Teen reading challenge. I think there should be US magical realism, but I'm not sure this is it. That said, I'm probably the opposite of the target audience so I'll just say I liked it fine and be done with it. "

" as i read this book i thought it wasn't going be as interesting as i thought it would be,but as i read dope sick i found it interesting because of the way the caracter react to his own problems.another thing that i like about the book is the connection,it has many connection with our society today. "

" This book encourages me not to be involved in the stuff he was when he was young. Also i liked hearing about his life problems. "

" This book is really good. Its deep to. It really goes in to detail. Its about this guy who does something bad, or actually his whole life he has been bad. So then is there a way to change anything. So then when he gets the chance to change his life, how does he do it. "

" I listened to this on CD. The narrator was good. The story was enjoyable also. This is typical Myers, although with a supernatural twist. Good for guys in junior high and up. "

" dope sick by walter dean was more then a book to me it had many memorable experiences for me like you cant change your past but the future is what change is all about "

" I thought it might be going somewhere, but the ending just made me say, "typical" "

" I like this book because it shows you what can happen when u take dope. "

" The touch of magical realism made this book a cut above typical adolescent lit. "

" Interesting book, but I wasn't crazy about the magical realism aspect.... "

" This book is very hard to get into but i didnt really care for it because it was very unrealistic because you would never get another chance like he does in the book. I am more into mystery an murder books so this wasnt really my cup of tea "

" i didnt really like this book it skiped abound in a unnatural way.. i guess i just couldnt get into it.. "

" It was an okay read, pretty quick, the story was interesting. If you know anything about this book you've probably heard the ending is a little ambiguous, which I didn't have a problem with. I just didn't like the way things played out at the end. "

" Could not get into this one. Maybe someone else will like it better than I did. "
