Ostrich Boys Audiobook

" This is a 3.5. I have to say at first I was bored by this book and the whole fact that it was British was a mark against it. This is a problem I have to get over with both British and Canadian books, but not Australian so much. Weird, I know. I always ask myself how the kids who read the books in the library will react to the references to tellies and loos and grade/year 9 stuff. Those are big deals to adolescent readers. However, the story in this book wins out over the British and even Scottish setting of the book. Blake, Sim and Kenny and their ROAD TRIP to Ross, Scotland to throw the ashes of their best friend Ross into the sea is a funny, endearing and thoughtful tale. It leaves no loose ends, but gives answers that may not be what we are looking for. I like it. "

" Once again a rather dull book about the relationship of three boys and their dead best friend. Sadly I found it lacked pazzas and I cionsequently got bored of it. It also I suppose was meant to have a heartbreaking ending, but it really just wasn't that good. "

" Maybe 2.5 stars. It just wasn't that exciting. Funny in parts and the transformations that the boys go through is genuine (I think). It just wasn't something that I would choose when there are SO many other great things out there to read... "

" I guess I shouldn't write a review of this book because I only got one chapter in but that was as far as I could get. The characters were simultaneously boring and complete little jerks. Plus I personally really dislike the travel novel. "

" Amazing... a road trip book that isn't a steaming piece of trash. That alone deserves four stars. I sort of wish I had written this book. It has a sense of mastery evident from the very first page which is curiously missing from all of my writing. "

" This is a good book, well worth reading. "

" Add this to my list of road trip books! Themes of friendship, guilt and loss. "

" This awesome novel follows three teenage boys as the embark on a road trip from southern England to Scotland in remembrance of their recently deceased friend. They experience some tough realizations along the way. I loved the ending! "

" didnt get throught it, toooooo boring :/ "

" It was great! Sucked me in and kept me there to the very last word! "

" I could not help but cry. What a fantastic book to show people what friendship is truly about. "

" Teen fiction; road-trip/coming of age (boys). "

" Another Nutmeg book. Funny, but ultimately very moving. "

" Great :D The boys are sooooo funny! I absolutely love all the things that go wrong, like when one of them lost their bag, or when the other had to bunjee jump to pay for a new train ticket. "

" Good but the only part that bothered me was the end when Sim got angry and left. "

" I thought this book was really good. Three 15 year old boys dealing with the death of a close friend. Enjoyed it. "

" This book was a very easy read. Very British, but very basic so the book is easy to understand. This book wasnt particularly good. It was interesting but I was glad to have finished it. It was monotonous and kind of bland at some parts, I wouldnt recommend it unless youre looking for a weak read. "

" This book was pretty good, and I get why it has great reviews. I was pleased that I did not understand the title until the end. I will definitely recommend it to others. "
