Everybody Sees the Ants Audiobook (Unabridged)

" This book focuses on the main theme of bullying, while throwing in bits of nostalgia regarding the Vietnam War, where the main character's grandfather became MIA. It's a timeless tale about finding inner-strength, balancing humor and wit to deal with some hefty issues. Great read! "

" This would be a perfectly fine work if I wasn't comparing it to A.S. King's last release. He's still got some real gems of revelation dropping out of his character's mouth though and the plotline and characters are all fully fleshed. I think the wincing that occured on my part was intentional on the part of the author. You really just want to give Lucky a big hug and beat the ever loving snot out of Nader before the book's half over. "

" A.S. King has produced another fine piece of writing. Personally I still enjoyed Vera much better but Everybody Sees the Ants was good. Basically it is about bullying and what it does to ones self-respect and how to cope and over come it. This is a book that could be read by just about anyone and they would be able to relate to it in some way. Defiantly one I will be recommending for my teen readers at the library, as well as some adults. "

" Wow. So good. I read her Printz honor book Please Save Vera Dietz as well, but this is much better. "

" I hope to meet Lucky Linderman at some point in life, and actually be lucky enough to recognize him. "

" Young Adult book that I won't forget. Protagonist a 15 year old bullied boy who navigates life as the third generation damaged by the Viet Nam war. "

" I think this is a great book for middle school. The bullies in this are so on the mark. It helps you relate to what kids are dealing with in school today. "

" Well-written, but just not my thing. Not that gripping. "

" I thought the bullying side of the story was interesting, and I am hard-pressed to think of a YA author who writes characters as complicated and thorny and difficult and realistically flawed as A.S. King. However, I did not care for the ants or the dream sequences. "

" Everybody Sees the Ants was quirky but an enjoyable read. The main character, Lucky Linderman,is a good guy and very likeable. The ants as the "peanut gallery" added a hysterical component to this dramatic novel. I loved the ants snarky comments. I look forward to reading King's other books. "

" Wow! This is an original, intriguing concept for a book. It is thought provoking and riveting. Isn't that what you say about books that you can't quite find the words to describe?! A.S. King has written a book you will want to read. "
