Elsie Dinsmore Audiobook

" One of my favorite books! I absolutely LOVE Elsie! She endures so much pain, but this little girl gets through it. She is such a strong character to inspire many! "

" Really good series of stories! Good Christian values and role models, yet at the same time Elsie does learn good lessons. Very good book. "

" Badly written. "

" Ha ha ha . . . a classic - of its time . . . redolent of femininity in the previous centuries . . . not for the faint of stomach. Soon to be a major motion picture . . . NOT. "

" A little heavy-handed with the didacticism, but I guess one has to remember the time period in which it was written. "

" she was a cowish weirdy. and this book might possibly the the longest I've ever read. but was it worthwhile and do I remember any of it? well, I remember ink stained copy books and pianos. and she had a checking account or something. and she wanted candy and bought a pound of it. I liked that and only that part. I also liked when she fell down the hill and almost died. or was that the second book? they're all the same in my book. (which is probably very short, considering that this may be the longest book I've read) "

" I read this so many years ago and don't remember much except I found Elsie terribly annoying. ;-) "

" I loved the Elsie Dinsmore books when I was young, so I decided to re-read all 28 books this summer... I finished the first book and it wasn't as good as I remembered. However, I couldn't wait to start the next book - love little Elsie! "

" Elsie is entirely too froufrou and perfect. Her father is borderline abusive and is a horrible example of what a father should be. Not an enjoyable book, or recommended. "

" Young Elsie is awaiting her father whom she's never seen. He went to Europe before she was born. When he returns. Elsie is heartbroken to find he does not posess the love for her as she has for him. "

" I'm not someone that religious but I sure enjoyed reading thsi book. A very touching and heart-warming tale of a young girl as she struggles to meet her father for the first time.And throughout the series the reader sees growth in her character. "

" It was horrible! it may look appealing to little girls but it's a horrible book, plain and simple. "

" This book showed me that religion really is contradictory. "

" Great for younger girls. Lots of morality woven into the story. "

" Good book. A little too sad/depressing. I read it in one night and probably stayed up a little too late, then I stayed up even later thinking about it. I went to sleep at about midnight. Ooops. "

" One of my favorite books of ALL-time! Elsie's sweet and gentle character inspire me so much! And the hardships she faced are tremendous! A very realistic. "

" she seemed too perfect, and rather spoiled. It's hard to relate to a character when they're flawless, and when you can't relate to the characters, the story falls flat. And this did. "

" Only...Elsie needs to break out, you know, live a little. "

" An unbearably precocious and weepy child is emotionally abused by her father for several months and then, unaccountably, he stops. Read this if your favorite part of Jane Eyre is the first page and a half, where she is mistreated and displays no spirit and nothing exciting happens to her. "

" This book was amazing and yet sad. "

" Great reminder to always Keep the Faith no matter what. Great example of courage, loyalty, perserverance, and faith. The writing style isn't exactly my first choice but overall it's a good read. "

" I admit, the child's righteousness made me irritated at times, but perhaps overconscientiously so. Would love to read more of the series if I can find more non-abridged versions. "

" I thought is was cute, but Elsie cried too much and was a little bit too good even for a little girl. This is definately aimed at a younger audience, so this was a light and fast read. "

" This book showed me that religion really is contradictory. "

" This book was amazing and yet sad. "

" My sister has the whole original series of Elsie Dinsmore, and I love it! "

" It was horrible! it may look appealing to little girls but it's a horrible book, plain and simple. "

" Elsie, I adore you. Your father's kind of horrible (at the ripe old age of 27!) but you love him anyway. That takes guts, kid. I like following along with the Bible passages, and the writing is adorable. I'm on board for the next 27. "
