Lawn Boy Audiobook

" I read this in 6th grade but I remember that I loved it. It was really short, but I finished it in time to do my book report on it! It was so great. If anyone is looking for a quick read, this 90 page book would be perfect! It was really, really good! :-) "

" Cute kids book. My son and I enjoyed it. It's a quick read. "

" It was a good book. Im happy that i learned about economics in my civics class through this book. i would have read this book again then redoing economics "

" A very fast read, though the vocab and math ideas are pretty sophisticated, so I'm not sure it's a shoo-in for reluctant readers. There's not a lot of character development or even plot (as you might imagine given the short length). It's more a book centered around an idea, a "what if." It's fun, but I'm not quite sure who it appeals to... it's one of those books where I'd have to get kids' reactions. Could be good in a school setting to talk about math and economics. "

" i like this because it really good it make me want to have a jod "

" Laugh out loud funny. I read snippets to my 18 year old and he enjoyed it also. Especially Joey. "

" I read this book back in fourth grade and thought it was funny. I read it again just recently and thought it was hilarious. Although some parts did seem a bit too lucky and unrealistic, it was still humorous and entertaining to read. I'm glad I decided to reread this book. "

" A quick story for boys. Great plot with some relevant stocks and bonds information. "

" Normally I'm not a Gary Paulson fan, but this book reads as if Paulson has been reading a bunch of Janet Evanovich novels and then wrote a middle-grade novel. It's hilarous! "

" Just when I started to think that the list for the 2010 Battle of the Books was superb, I read this book. It was ok. I can't really say more than that. I really thought there would be more of a plot. I expected more from the author of "Hatchet". "

" The perfect little book to teach about entrepreneurship, stocks & bands, running a business, and how to invest. "

" Since we have our own lawn mowing business, we decided to read this as a family. It was a quick, easy read and especially Joseph was on the edge of his seat wanting to keep reading! "

" I finished this book and it was amazing yet it's kind of weird having a mafia in a kids book.You should read this book it's short but worth your time I thought this book should be 5 stars. The man who wrote the book normally writes about the wild or his life but this was a good change. "

" This was a very quick,witty,and altogether enjoyable book "

" Lawn Boy by Gary Paulsen is a very good book overall. The book is a fiction novel written for young teenagers but anyone can read this book "

" funny book nope its stupid "

" This book is about a boy who gets an old riding lawnmower from his grandfather. He starts his own business and learns a lot on the way. This is recommended for everyone, and really good for someone interested in a short book. "

" It took some time to get into but the second half of the book was much better than the beginning. Hope the second one will keep the pace! "
