Kira-Kira Audiobook (Unabridged)

" I listened to this book on cd, which was beautifully read, accents and all. It is the story of a young Japanese American girl and her family in the southeastern United States. She tells the story of their lives as seen through her innocent eyes. "

" Kira Kira is such a heart felt story. I wish all of the Authors would write like Cynthia Kadohata instead of things like all other books. The way Lynn shows Katie the glitter of life is a compleing and heart warming story of sisterhood. Keep On Reading!... "

" touching and evokes some emotion but not quite enough for me. "

" aww.. It's so nice. It's all about family. It also tells us about how kids live their lives. How they see things at such a very young age. This book tells me things about innocence and love for your family. "

" the book was good but not great. in the beginning it was a little weird. Though in the end it was good but sad because the sister died.the younger one had enough of her sister being sick because she felt like it should of been her. in the middle of the book it just got depressing. "

" A great Newbery winner I picked up from my school library. I really enjoyed this book. I only wish it could have been longer and perhaps given more of the story. Even with the sad plot, it was an enjoyable book and gave an interesting insight into a Japanese American girl in the 50's. "

" So sad and beautiful. "

" SAD REALLY GOOD "

" Shining so brit, Kira-kira, was one of me favorite book babies! Can't say more, I will spoil the surprise for you! "

" It was a good book but very sad at the end... "

" What a fresh voice the author uses to tell what would otherwise be a very dark story. The hopeful innocence shines through. "

" Lyrical, beautifully written, but too sad. "

" This was a good book "

" so sad but good "

" The last time I read this was years ago, but I still remember how I felt as I read it. Kira-Kira is an amazingly heart-warming book about sisters and their family relationship as they move to a different environment. I'd definitely recommend it. "

" Good read, may have liked it better if I was younger. good story, easy reading, but felt "comfortable"....nothing like the visceral wrenching i got when i read "The Giver", for example. "

" Totally forgotten about this book. I must read it again!!! "

" I cannot believe how I fell in love with this book. The writing... the wit... the honesty. It was fantastic. And very refreshing. "

" I'm took an A.R. test on this. 70 percent :( oh well I'll go better next time. "

" One of my all time favorites. This book made me laugh, made me cry, and made me yell out a few explicative words... All in all a great book for anyone looking for an amazing plot written in an easy-read style. Especially a good book for anyone with a sibling. "

" I cried when I read the last few pages. "

" I thought the book was amazing, a very well thought out book. Lots of details and descriptions. "

" Funny, sad and poignant. Middle-child Katie learns what it means to love and cherish your family, lose someone you love, and redefine yourself. Enlightening on the topic of chicken hatcheries in the 1950's and '60s and the role Japanese Americans played. Newbery Medal, 2005. "

" Kira-Kira was such a good book. I had read it many times and I'm never bored of it. I had different feelings when I read this book and I loved it. The good parts actually starts later in the book. "

" I loved it! It has a really great plot and its easy to understand. "

" An inspiring tale of love, friendship, and the undeniable power of sisterhood. The bond between Katie and her other sister is incredible. The way their relationship develops as Katie grows older and wiser is fogiving in the most heart-felt way. "

" I know this is a Newbery winner and all, but I didn't particularly like it. "

" It was amazing! I love how every thing was decribed and written! "
