Red Helmet Audiobook

" A "spring break" read that required little thought. Easy (predictable) plot but sometimes that is just what you need. "

" I really enjoyed this book! This book really takes you into the mines and the lives of coal miners. "

" Song Hawkins is a NYC business queen who falls for a West Virginia coal miner, Cable. Complications arise when they decide to get married on a whim. Song finds out she's not cut out for life in Highcoal and Cable, the mine super, can't give up on his hometown. Will they ever find a compromise? Add in the town gossip, the governor, and the mystery of missing coal. An average read, I enjoyed it. The ending was a little sappy for me. "

" A simple love story but with a twist. I learned lots about mining underground coal in West Virginia. Also about the newest way to mine coal, by shearing off the mountain tops to get at hidden coal. This is a tragedy in all parts of Appalachia that have coal deposits we need----or want. "

" Good clean book. I really liked his style of writing. "

" EXCELLENT - really makes you think about coal mining towns - very well written - you could feel their emotion "

" I think he had a good story but just didn't tell it well. His main character was odd in discription. Mistaken for a boy in one chapter and then the next chapter she was supposedly amazingly beautiful who turned heads.... too much of a reach for me to put much into her, and especially as a heroine. "

" Loved this book even though it was a simple story dealing with selfishness and love. It kept a good pace and was fun to read. "

" I preferred reading October Sky. "

" Another great Homer Hickam book. I didn't give it 5 stars because parts of it were a little improbable. Otherwise a great read. "

" This was a great story about the hardships of love and life. I just finished reading it and loved it. "

" I was extremely drawn in to this story from the get go. All the problems worked out but in a human fashion not fairytale like. I recommended it to most of my friends! "

" I really liked this book because I like the style in which Homer Hickam writes. I enjoy reading about how coal mining towns operate because it is like a foreign world to me, definitely something interesting and out of the ordinary. "

" I didn't love the characters in this book- I thought they were selfish and unyielding- but then the story picks up and I got sucked into the plot. Not super thought-provoking, but a fast, enjoyable read. "

" The first section was very sappy and hard to get through. The second was better. The mining parts of it were the most interesting to me. "

" I think I liked this one better than the Josh Thurlow series. Interesting to learn about coal mining. "

" I love Homer Hickam's writing. This isn't my favorite book by him..plus it was a bit to romance(y) for me...When I read his works, I don't want to read romance. Still worth 4 stars..although his other reads by me have handily received 5 stars. "
