Paper Moon Audiobook (Unabridged)

" A fun read. The last 'event' was very contrived and came together a bit too neatly, but otherwise, the con games were 'slick.' And I mean that in a good way. "

" "Addie Pray" by Joe David Brown is one of my favorite books, later made into the movie "Paper Moon", with Tatum O'Neal and Ryan O'Neal. I saw the movie first, and it is good, but the book is so much better, with a lot more adventures! A great story about a father/daughter con artist team. "

" Best caper novel ever. Love Addie, love Long Boy, love the Colonel, and I especially love "the girls." "

" Muy divertida (: "

" Enjoyable, felt it kind of petered out at the end. Not really sure where it could have gone, but it was pretty anticlimactic. "

" This was an enjoyable read. I liked how the author shows the storyline from the perspective of the young girl. The review says it is as good as To Kill A Mockingbird. I've read that book over a dozen times. This book definitely is not as good as TKAM, but it's good nonetheless. "

" This movie came out when I was a kid. I loved the movie, so I had to read the book. Now that I look at it as an adult, I'm not very impressed, but I recall really liking it back then. "

" An engaging book about 11-year old orphan, Addie, who travels the South with her perhaps daddy, scheming and conning just about everyone. What a team of "gentle sharpsters." It's very humorous...made me laugh out loud in places. A classic! "

" If you loved the type of humor in the movie, you'll love this book. Hilarious! Some bad language at times, but the writing and story is so good. "

" It's like Paper Moon, Dixie North, and the Gitaway Box all rolled into one book. It also has the added bonus of mentioning almost every small town in Alabama, including Jasper. "

" WATCH THIS MOVIE!!!! "

" I enjoyed this a lot. A con man taking his (probable) daughter with him to bilk people. Rather incredulous, but as seen from her viewpoint, fun. I especially liked the character Mayflower. "

" I love this story! It is delightful, to use an old expression on an old fashioned story. It is beautiful in it's simplicity "

" I had a hard time getting into this one, but I'm not sure why. I think I was anticipating it too much with it being compared to To Kill a Mockingbird. "

" A very good book! Very different yet comical story of life during the depression. I would have liked more of a ending.... But did really enjoy it! "

" This was a great read! I loved this book. Don't know why I never saw the movie. Just rented it. Wasn't disappointed. "

" If you want to read a book that is similar to To Kill a Mockingbird. This book reminded me of that authors style. I loved it. "

" This was one case where I liked the movie A LOT better than the book. "

" A great slice of depression-era Americana. The first part is quixotic and charming, it is in the worm-turning, heart-warming second section that the story takes wings "

" This was such a fun story to read. They were h horrid scamps, but so charming you had to root for them! I've read it many times. "

" I read this 20 years ago and still remember it. Excellent story and well worth reading. "

" This was an enjoyable read (listen) about a couple of post-depression grifters making their way around the southeast "doing business." The stories of their exploits are very entertaining, but the story lacks sufficient resolution to be one of my favorites. "

" What a wonderful yarn! I never tire of rereading this one. And the movie version, "Paper Moon" (for which little Tatum O'Neal won an Oscar) is just as good as the book. "

" Just started last night after I put down "The Boleyn Inheritance". "

" It was really good until it wasn't. The story line never changed or progressed. "

" I enjoyed it! I liked the characters and the book kept me wondering how they would pull off their next business. "

" Very enjoyable read -- really a 3.5. It's one of those rare books though where the movie, which covered the first half of the book, is better. "

" One of my favorite childhood books. "
