Keeper of the Doves Audiobook

" I don't have anything to say:D have a awesome day!! "

" We just finished this one. It was a really fun and cute read. "

" I liked the idea behind the story, but I didn't feel like the story was fleshed out enough. It was hard to feel anything for Mr. Tominski, the strange, elusive man whose presence featured so prominently in the young main character's mind, when there wasn't enough of him in the story. I think that aspect needed to be fleshed out more, and the annoying twin sisters needed to not feature quite so prominently. "

" I like Byars but this one was too superficial. And the idea of not judging a recluse has been done better, notably in Onion John. "

" This is a beautifully written book about Amie McBee (short for Amen), her family, and Mr. Tominski, a recluse who lives on the far end of the family's property. The words themselves are very simple, as they come from young Amie's point of view. Yet, the story's message is haunting.. I won't spoil the ending, but suffice to say, it lends itself well to rich conversation about lessons of love, acceptance, loss, and regret. I only wish a little more resolve had been made at the end. Some characters in the book felt "unfinished", but still worth the read. (It's a fast read.) "

" The author writes well, but the ending wasn't very satisfying for me. The ending does lend itself to a discussion which is probably just as well since this book is our library's mother/daughter book club book. No matter the book, it is always fun to read the same book as my daughters. "

" Best book ever! About hope and words! If you love to write, this book is for you!!!! "

" Short but sweet!!! Made me think and be thankful for what I have. "

" The "gentle giant" in this story reminded me of "I couldn't help it" in Stephen King's "The Green Mile." Good story, this one. "

" A young girl reacts with empathy to an unusual man living on her family's property. "

" A little forced and contrived. The teaser on the back did not deliver what I expected. "

" Interesting book for a girl age 9 - 12. Amy is the youngest sister of a wealthy family at the turn of the century. There is some mystery surrounding a man who works for papa. Should Amy turst what her sisters say about the man or what her Papa tells her? "

" This book is really short and pretty good I guess "

" This was a sweet story! Would be good for younger elementary school kids I think. I think the cover is beautiful. "

" This book is witty and beautifully written. Both Naomi and I devoured it and had a wonderful discussion. The heroine is an eight year old who loves words. What better premise is there? "

" This book was a fast and easy read for me. It was a good book and I did like it. But, it wasn't that great. "

" This was part of my 8th grade "Read the Books on My Shelf That I've Probably Outgrown" kick. So I read this. It was good. "

" i like the part when the girl takes pictures of the dove keeper . "

" Another girl? But not any other girl. Nothing new about this book but something is comforting in there! "

" A must read it is rather short but super good! "

" It's a rare book that handles difficult subjects with such poise and appropriateness for young readers, while stimulating curiosity and joy in reading. "

" Great charecters Cxcellent family setting. Amy was so reel and an old soul. He insight into the Polish man. "

" its a realy good book not the best ive read but its one of them:) "

" Love that Livy loved this book so much she asked me to read it, too. "

" I listened to this book in the car. It was OK. I guess the characters didn't really grab me. "

" i think it was awesome because the way the dove keeper was and how he acted he made me very curious and kinda mad. He was quiet and had a weird sense of humor. But the doves sound incredible and i love doves. They are like a fantasy because they are so pure and were thought to bring peace. "

" Elizabeth enjoyed this book. We listened to it in the car on a road trip. The author did a good job of writing from the child's perspective. "

" A tender tale with the all-to-often wisdom of hindsight so much better than foresight. "
