Grayson Audiobook

" The writer's experience with Grayson and her passion for the ocean is wonderful, but this book should be marketed for children. It is very simple to read and could have been written as a short story. "

" Very short but sweet little book about a girl who helps a lost baby whale while swimming in the ocean. What makes the book amazing is the story is true. I'm giving it to Max and Sophie to read as well. The author is rather flowery in her descriptions, but she has a palpable respect for the ocean. "

" This book is spilling over with just horrendous prose -- truly eyerolling and cringe-inducing metaphors litter every page. Thankfully, it's short. "

" Absolutely enchanting! one of those quick, deep, and thoroughly entrancing stories that is just long enough to leave you with that after glow of having read something truly important! "

" All the more magical for being true. "

" A true story about one woman's swim in the Pacific with a whale named Grayson. "

" It was great. Fun, like I was the real one swimming with a huge baby whale. "

" My daughters book but I read it in one day at the beach. Magical "

" A very inspiring story of an athlete. Teaches a lot of trust and care not only to us Humans but also to Animals, for they're the Lords creation too <3 "

" Nice easy read, especially if you read Swimming to Antartica. "

" A very sweet story, meanders a bit, though. "

" I enjoyed the tale of her swimming with the baby whale until they found its mother. there were parts that were awfully repetitive - I'm not sure how many more ways she could describe the pressure of diving more than 10 feet or so. she tried, though. "

" a fun read, you get a sense you are out in the ocean with the author. "

" How great would it be to get to experience something as great as swimming with a whale for hours. The story was very touching. "

" I loved this true story which has some of the most beautiful descriptions of the sea that I've ever read...... and is both a fairy tale and a miracle at the same time "

" read it in one night, truth is better than fiction.. "

" Another documentation of one of Lynne Cox's swimming adventures and it was a very enjoyable read. It documents an amazing experience she had and it's a very quick read. "

" This is a fast, inspiring book about a teenage girl who ends up swimming with a baby grey whale. Definitely a feel good read! "

" Not the most compelling nonfiction I've encountered, but interesting in a quiet, new-agey way. The fact that Cox, as a 17-year old, swam with a baby gray whale for hours while searching for his mother, is certainly amazing. Grayson, as read by Cox, makes a decent audio book. "

" A bit redundant and corny at times. Cute story. Kids and young adults should really like this. "

" This book is really cute. It is about a lost baby whale finding his way back to his mother. "

" An open-water, teenage swimmer describes an incident which happened while on a training swim off the coast of California. She encounters a lost baby gray whale and tries to help it find its mother. A short, interesting read. "

" The distance-swimmer Lynne Cox had an extended experience with a lost baby whale when she was a young swimmer training in California. Grayson is her remembrance of that experience. This would be a beautiful read-aloud. "

" A little gem. Great gift for anyone who loves to ocean swim and wishes for a baby whale to accompany them. "

" I loved the story in this book and will read it aloud to my daughter. I find her writing style a bit boring though. "

" Very short but sweet little book about a girl who helps a lost baby whale while swimming in the ocean. What makes the book amazing is the story is true. I'm giving it to Max and Sophie to read as well. The author is rather flowery in her descriptions, but she has a palpable respect for the ocean. "

" All the more magical for being true. "

" A little boring and overly simple/sentimental. Lacks depth. Short, which is a plus. Not a waste of time but not a life-changer either. Extremely copious descriptive language takes up at least half the book, because the story itself has such little content. A neat little tale though. "

" This was one of the best books i have ever read.So much amazing detail it makes you feel like you are in the ocean with the whale and the girl :) "

" Is book was too uplifting and positive for my taste. "

" Sweet and endearing. Totally believable. "

" I love whales and the story is interesting, but the writing was a bit slow and boring. "

" I love this story it was a short one.. "

" It's about the length of a children's chapter books, so it's a quick and easy read, but it's a cute story. She's a good writer, and it makes me want to read her other book. "
