Slake's Limbo Audiobook

" i had to read it for school. "

" teen. social adversity. facing life. take it or leave it "

" If you like to read about a creepy kid whose best friend is a disgusting subway rat, by all means, go ahead. "

" Harsh, but interesting. "

" Another audiobook read by Neil Patrick Harris. "

" My most vivid recollection of this book is Slake making 100% profit selling abandoned newspapers. It was my capitalist coming-of-age at eleven. "

" A tale of a boy finding self-agency within the tunnels of the NYC subway system. It was okay, but nothing special. "

" Liked the writing, loved Neil Patrick Harris' narration, wished I could have listened to longer chunks of it at a time (because I think I would have liked it better that way). "

" he lived in the train station for 3 months "

" I originally read this in middle school. "

" slow, barely anythig to think about, seems like a waste of a book to put on a school reading list. Too juvenile for jr high. not enough moral, although there is some possible discussion, butnot enough to justify it. completely clean. "

" I remembered loving this book as a kid, but figured that it wouldn't be as good now that I actually live in the city and ride the subways every day... No, turns out it's still a great book. "

" If asked which one of these 'forced reading' books I might read a second time, I might choose "The Cay" over this. Again my impressions of this are from way back in 7th grade, so they're not too strong. "

" Another book I read in the fourth grade. Wow. It's like Catcher in the Rye but for disadvantaged kids. He has no parents, lives in the subway and mixes ketch-up and sugar together to survive. And yes, has trust issues. "

" I read this in elementary school. It was one of my favorite books of the school year, a great book for the age it is written for. I will be getting a copy for my kids to read when they are old enough. "

" I loved this book. I thought it was really cute. "

" It was an interesting book to read. "

" I read this when I was a teenager and it has stuck with me all these years. "

" this book was a joke. i was hoping he would get hit by a subway car while living there, but it was only a fond dream. "

" I read this in 5th grade. Took me away from my ordinary life and transported me to an exciting story about a runaway hiding in the NYC subway system. "

" I disliked the style of narration, couldn't relate to the character, and thought the ending was super cheesy. "

" 1970's NYC! "

" a strange story but I like that it's YA but lacks angst or anger. "

" Very different than other young adult books i have read, loved the writing style, very touching, and a quick read. "

" I've read this 3 years ago, and still don't understand what the plot is about. "

" It was an interesting book to read. "

" slow, barely anythig to think about, seems like a waste of a book to put on a school reading list. Too juvenile for jr high. not enough moral, although there is some possible discussion, butnot enough to justify it. completely clean. "

" A '70s YA book that ages rather well. In some ways, it reminded me of "The Inventions of Hugh Cabret"...boy surviving on his own. "

" he lived in the train station for 3 months "
