Tallgrass: A Novel Audiobook

" This is a story told from the eyes of a thirteen year old girl in Colorado in the 1940's. She live near Tallgrass a Japanese internment camp. AS usual very descriptive characters and a moving story line from Sandra Dallas. "

" Good but "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" was better since they cover the same topic. "

" Actually, I listened to the audio of this wonderful tale of a Japanese Internment camp in Ellis, CO. A murder mystery, historical fiction with memorable characters... "

" I thought this was a great historical fiction on the Japanese camp in Colorado during WWII and how Americans treated the Japanese-Americans during that time. I would have given it a 5, but there were a few parts that dragged a little. "

" I listened to this book. I think the reader brought a lot to the book and the voices were distinctive. This book took me to this time and place during WWII. I think it was very well written. This book surprised me. "

" read Tallgrass for my first bookclub, at the library. Some of the people thought it had some similarities to To Kill a Mockingbird.taught me something about our history that i knew little about. "

" i just discovered this author. this is the second book of hers that i've read. can't wait to read more of her stuff! "

" A lot of sad things happen in this book. The ending doesn't leave you feeling depressed, but when you look back on it you realize there was a lot of heavy material covered. "

" I liked the idea of how a small town adapted to having a Japanese camp nearby, but Dallas is a bit too cutesy for me. "

" One of the best and saddest and happiest books about Japanese internment. Told from the view point of a young teenage girl, it was one I couldn't put down. "

" At first the book seemed slow, but it wasn't the book - it was me. I really enjoyed this book and once I let myself get into it, I could not put it down. "

" I really liked this book! Highly recommend it. It's set during the period when Japanese Americans were forced to live in internment camps from the view of a young girl & it's effects on the people around her. "

" I really enjoyed this book. Loved the characters and the story line was interesting. Would recommend this book as a must read. "

" I like reading Sandra Dallas's books, but they are formulaic. You can guarantee a rape or a rape murder. Hate that part. "

" A glimpse into a less than fabulous part of U.S. history through the eyes of a 13 year old child. A part I don't remember being taught in school; the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II. Scary what fear and ignorance will drive people to do to each other. "

" It's not really fair for me to rate this book since I didn't read very far. I was put off by the writing early. I started and restarted a couple of times, then decided to move on. I don't think I made it past chapter 2. I concede, not a fair review. "

" I love learning about things that I never really knew even happened! This book about a small town, whose neighbor is a Japanese holding camp, struggles with prejudice, World War II, and who they are as a town.... I thought this was a great book! "

" I enjoyed this book, especially the Colorado setting in the 1940's. Look forward to reading other books by this author. "

" I had never heard about this internment camp. What an interesting story, told so well by Sandra Dallas. A must read! "

" I loved this book! Totally a favorite! "

" This is a book written for adults with YA appeal. I was surprised to see it had not won the Alex Award for this. I think it would be an excellent candidate. "

" Just finished book group of Hotel at the Corner of Bitter and Sweet. Tallgrass is about a Japanese camp in Western Colorado. I enjoyed the connection. Author did a good job of telling the story from the view of the people of the nearby town. "

" A charming quick read about the effects of a Japanese internment camp in a Colorado community. "

" Select Editions Vol 4, 2007 "

" Really liked this story which did a good job of describing conditions for the internees at the camp. I liked the mystery component also. "

" Sweet story but just too simple-minded. These people are too good to be believable. "
