Revolver Audiobook

" Excellent, suspenseful YA novel set in the icy wasteland of 1910 Sweden. "

" Very intersting, suspenseful, and scary. Life in the artic and a deadly situation. Even dead men tell stories. I couldn't put it down. Young adult - Grade 7 and up. "

" Dark and creepy. A really bad villain. An ethical choice for Sig. Some adult themes are insuated. Good suspense. "

" A quick read that uses the gold rush, childhood ingenuity, the Colt 44-40 revolver, and life lessons (essentially that there is always a "third choice" even when we only see two) as central components of this fun read. "

" This isn't a spoiler, because you know it on the first page, but the dead father lying on the kitchen table is such a palpable presence. Good twists. I liked the use of historical quotes. "

" Starts out creepy but this arctic circle thriller quickly grabbed hold of me and ruthlessly held on until it gently touched down into a satisfying ending. "

" This book was good and I see why it won awards, unfortunately the appeal to young readers isn't very high. I found myself glad it was over just so I could pick up another book that would suck me in like this one was not able to do. "

" Just LOVED this one, much to my surprise. It's a powerful, great read for all ages -- amazing characters, unforgettable setting, suspense and action. Can't wait to read his next one. "

" Unique and exceptionally well written Young Adult novel about a boy & his family in Nome, Alaska and Giron, Sweden. The landscape and the lone revolver are the main characters. I am amazed that such a simple story could be so good. "

" Really enjoyed this YA book - was all keen to give it to my 10 year old son, right up to the point of a veiled rape scene at the end. Which makes me wonder exactly who the target audience is. Perhaps older reluctant readers (the language is straightforward and the chapters short). "

" A concentrated, chilling, tense story - unusually adult in some of the key concerns - totally ruined by a clunkingly moralistic ending. Read it, but put it down after the gun goes off. "

" Okay but boring, not a massive Sedgwick fan "

" Great winter thriller. Plan for a couple hours and something warm to drink. "

" Nominated for Carnegie. And unlike most of the recent nominees, this is a shortish book which is easy to zip through. The last third is particularly good - fast paced and exciting. "

" Kind of interesting how the past and present were intermingled, but rather slow and uncomfortable. "

" This is a 4.5. It would be a great one for middle schoolers. It takes a bit to get into, but once you're in, the story is intriguing and the mystery compelling. "

" I liked this -- I loved how the mystery was revealed at the end, and leaves the character, and the reader, wondering if we really know the people we love. And how we can learn from our parents, and use what advice they give us but make it our own. "

" A fast read, but surprisingly riveting. "

" This book could have been a play. It was so taut with dialogue; each chapter could have been an Act in the play. The action drove the story. Some might say it's about guns, some might say it's about dead men telling secrets. I think it was about that and more. Loved it! "

" High and increasing tension, but it isn't non-stop action. Did their father go into partnership w/ the man now holding them hostage? Did he steal the gold? Is a revolver good or evil? Extreme Arctic cold and a Colt revolver are central characters "

" Excellent book with a lot for teens to discuss, but a little too dark for my tastes. "

" Easy read. I was able to start and finish in a few short hours. Interesting book but not my favorite. "

" A teen finds his father dead and is soon hounded by a grizzled, crazed miner intent on vengeance. The arctic setting makes for a dramatic and starkly realistic story. The ending will provoke thoughtful questions about guns. "

" super quick book to read. I'd give it a 3.75 "

" Really interesting book - keeps you guessing! Great read for young men - Gold rush in Alaska, discussion on force vs. peace. Great read-aloud as well!! "

" an amazingly swift moving book. 200 pages flies by in no time at all even though there are moments of complexity and density to the story. "

" Yet again, Marcus Sedwick awes his reader with a fast-paced tale of the Artic. Very emotional and deep, exciting and mysterious. Just wonderfully written. "
