Olive's Ocean Audiobook

" I liked this book, but it was a little dark... and odd how the main character found herself connected to a dead girl. Still, it was a touching read. "

" Read this because I was thinking of getting it for my niece for Christmas. Kept hoping it would get better. It didn't. "

" This was another cute little book that I read quickly. I seem to not have much spare time right now and this book fit the bill. I love Kevin Henkes' picture books and this book was fun to read. I loved the relationship between the girl and her grandmother. "

" Wasn't what I was expecting. I was looking for something mystical. This one was a serious book about a girl and her emotions right at the cusp of becoming a teenager. "

" I have finally finished this book! I think it was a great book, but in the begining it was not very good to me but after that one sentence the book was awsome. I think this book was really good because the main character Martha has began to come close to here surroundings and then she learns to love life and have fun with who she loves. I hope you get a chance to read it, because if you don't you'll miss out on a lot! "

" Martha is a sensitive 13 year old who loves to write. For summer vacation she goes to her grandmother's house--as they do each year--but this summer she learns more about herself and the people she loves. Sweet story. "

" Enjoyed this book. Quick read. "

" One of my favorite young adult books. I can't remember how many times I read this from 5th to 8th grade. The emotions are written so well and flow easily for a tween to understand. It was one of my first "serious" books I really had ever read. "

" Exemplifying what two friends will do to share a secret, when they're across the country from eachother. "

" It was OK but I really don't think it deserved a Newbery. "

" I read this book during the summer for my school's summer reading challenge. I think this book is kind of sad because Olive died young... "

" perhaps if i had read this book when i was younger i would have liked it more. "

" A good story but I was dissapointed by some of the language and dialogue between a brother and sister about how to tell when their parents had had sex. "

" A young writer who's mind is sent on a journey when her classmate......... dies. "

" Really good for pre-teen girls (10-12ish). Protagonist is a 12-year old girl. "

" LOVE IT!!!!! really good book and everyone who reads this book will absolutly love it!! :D "

" this book is a great one, it's about a girl who falls for a boy but that boy's younger brother has already fallen for the girl from a long time ago! "

" Martha and Olive were not friends. Olive was killed. Soon after Olive's Mother gave Martha a page from Olive's journal. The page had a profound effect on Martha. It was an eerie feeling during a family vacation at the ocean. Martha began to realize how quickly life can change. "

" Filled with teen drama, short and easy to read chapters. "

" Maybe I just have a strong opinion. . but I just read it and it stink. The writing was fine but I just didn't like any of the characters, or the plot, or the dialogue, which was unrealistic. "

" Multiple parallel plots. No big perfect ending--goes to deliver baby jar of sea water but Olive's mom has moved. "

" I really liked this book because it dealed with death and mourning in a nondepressing way. I'll def. it again! "

" intense and sad but very good I recomend it "

" I loved the book, best book I ever read! "

" I actually got this book referred to me by a friend. They said the book was heartbreaking. So I think this is gonna be a good book! "

" It is a GREAT book. If you enjoy sort of sad and betraying and a small i mean small love story This is the book for youTaylor swift quote:"It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair." "

" This is an amazing book. "

" Nice little book. Quick read. Nice, optimistic, open ending. You know I'm not a fan of the "all the pieces fall into place" happy ending, so I was relieved that Henkes refrained. Would love to read a book about Olive, who is a minor character in this book. Maybe I'll write my own. "

" This book really makes you think.... "
