Rats Saw God Audiobook

" This book was about teenage boy named Steven York who is failing High school, he know learns he has to write a one- hundredth page paper or he'll flunk. Throughout his journey he discovers himself as a person, and discovers that he needs to change his ways of living to move on in life "

" Rob Thomas is an incredible author. Each sentence is written so exquisitely. Great contemporary YA novel. "

" It was hard for me to get into this book at first; the slow beginning and my short attention span meant I had to keep forcing myself to read what was on the page in front of me. The characters didn't hook me in immediately, but somewhere along the way I got addicted to the story, and I'm really glad I stuck with it because it was definitely a very rewarding read. It was engaging, thought-provoking, and so true to life that I would've believed it to be nonfiction. I especially appreciated that Rob Thomas throws a curveball at you in the final pages, which I really thought made the book worth reading. "

" My favorite book of all time (so far). I love it and read it every year. It's a perfect coming of age story for teens and young adults. Set in the early 90's and full of angst. "

" This is a fantastic book. Highly intelligent Steve York puts his life back together, after his first love broke his heart, with the help of his high school guidance counselor. He learns a lot about himself and his family. It's a terrific book for teenagers. "

" I wasnt too interested in this book, and the font changes hurt my eyes and made me not want to continue reading. Overall, it was an ok story, but honestly the font distracted me from retaining much of what I read. "

" Second Thomas book I read, don't remember much about it except that I didn't like the main character at all. "

" Story itself was great. Would have rated higher but for explicit content. "

" This is a classic young adult book, but written better than most of the genre. Sounds a lot better and a lot more real than the rest of them, too. Manages to be very good in its very short form. "

" another in the genre of journal entries as novel and guidance counselor as savior:) "

" great book. I read it in High School, and I thought it was the cat's pajamas. Loaned it to everyone I knew and never heard a bad word about it. Still resides on my bookshelf years later. I read it sometimes. It remains a personal favorite. "

" Maaaaajor flashback to the early nineties. This is pretty great YA, and I'm sure a book that would appeal to male readers. But what I liked best about it was the references to bands and popular culture of the early nineties. "

" A teenage boy who finds himself and repairs his relationship with his dad through writing his personal story for school. "

" One of my favorite books since high school! Everyone should read this! "

" The writing was okay but I didn't find the story particularly compelling. "

" Excellent writing, funny, intelligent narrator, great characters, well-protrayed and complex family relationships. Male protagonist, outsiders, pot smoking, romance, divorce. "

" I like this story because it can be the life and struggles of any typical teen boy "

" Pretty good. Lots of teen angst, but Rob Thomas knows what he's doing. I still like Veronica Mars better, though. "

" Decent read, but I was a bit distracted by seeing where a lot of Veronica Mars elements came from, and how the tv series did it better. "

" Practically perfect in every way! "

" This is a strong coming of age story. The characters and situations are so spot-on that reading it is like being transported right back to high school. "

" Very realistic. Put me right back in high school. "

" great book. I read it in High School, and I thought it was the cat's pajamas. Loaned it to everyone I knew and never heard a bad word about it. Still resides on my bookshelf years later. I read it sometimes. It remains a personal favorite. "

" I don't know why I picked this book up at the Library,old goat that i was then and far more older now <br/>but it brough back those old teen feelings. <br/> Great book about growing up. "

" Steve York is a troubled senior who accepts an assignment to write 100 pages to avoid summer school and graduate. He writes autobiographically and begins to come to terms with his relationship with his famous astronaut father and a breakup with his first girlfriend. "

" The first book I ever recommended to a teen. Sharing it with her gave me my first clue that I might want to be a librarian. "

" Good YA nicely set in place and time. No surprising subject matter--young outlier boy with daddy issues has heart broken, emerges intact--but it's all handled well. Doesn't hurt that, as Houston book, it all feels very familiar to me. "

" The book took forever to finish and had very few interesting parts ! "

" My son had to read for school so I gave it read also. "

" A bit cliche as a teen has to relive the past years in order to graduate by completing a writing assignment that then becomes a deep introspection as to what went right and wrong with girls, parents, family, and friends. "
