The Borrowers Afield Audiobook (Unabridged)

" Still sparking my imagination, I couldn't wait to sit down with this book whenever I could. I love how I was right there with Arietty as she played in the great wild outdoors. Makes me want to create more tiny homes for imaginary people in my studio. "

" I love this series! This book taught me about human arrogance in easier manner than Lord of the Rings. "

" I didn't enjoy this one nearly as much as the first. It was kind of boring to read aloud -- a lot of descriptive passages, not much action until the end. I would've given it two stars, but O. liked it, so it got bumped up. :) "

" Things get more exciting living in the wild. And also Spiller. I didn't remember how badass he was! How young the characters seem to me now. "

" I loved these little people when I was in grammar school--I could almost see them "

" my seven year old can't get enough of the Borrowers. great plots and characters. "

" This one starts out a lot slower than the first of the Borrowers, but ends up being a grand adventure tale. It introduces Spiller, who made an appearance in the most recent film version of the first novel ("The Secret World of Arietty") "

" I'm re-reading this series to see if it still warrants shelf space in my permanent collection. It's fun, but not nearly as magical and enchanting as my memories of it were. I still think Arrietty is an awful lot of fun, though. She's a delightful little heroine, but her mother gives me a pain. "

" I'm really so impressed with these books. "

" This is the second book in the series and it is not my favorite out of all the borrower books. Homily just got on my nerves, she complained a lot! It is essential that you read this book in the series but definitely not my favorite. "

" What The Five-Year-Old thought: "I liked that the Borrowers lived in a boot." "

" My children loved the Borrowers series. This is a great one to share with children or give to them to read. "

" I don't remember it all that well, I read it about 20 years ago, but I am looking forward to getting out this series to share with my kids. One of my faves growing up. "

" Another enchanting novel about the Borrowers. I enjoyed it greatly "

" After having the first book read to me in class as a child, I loved the story concept so much I immediately went to the library and read the rest in the series. Love, love, love these books. "

" it was really weird but cool at the same time :) "

" The Clock family is forced to flee the Big House! They live in a field and meet Spiller! "

" In this book Pod, Homily, and Arrietty live in a boot for most of the book. A.K. "

" I loved this story once I got past the frame story in the first several chapters. I would almost rather the book had started right into the continuation of Arriety's story rather than introduce Kate and Tom Goodenough. "

" Here are the continued adventures of Pod, Homily, and Arrietty Clock, first introduced in The Borrowers. I adored this entire series, though the plot begins to tire by the fifth book. "

" As good as the first, even better because Arietty is finally free! Fresh air, wide open spaces, adventure, danger, teen crush. What more could you ask for? "

" Like Arietty, I like the Borrowers out of doors. I think this is a great addition to the first book with the development of the human characters that help tell the tale, as well as the introduction of a new Borrower, the mysterious Dreadful Spiller. "

" This book is quite nice. It can be enjoyable for young and old. It tells about very small people that have very big adevntures! ^^ "

" So much fun, and so much more tense, as they venture out of their safe home! "

" I was very concerned at the Borrowers having to move home, but I needn't have worried .... "

" I don't understand the time line in this one (things don't quite line up) but still fun! "

" I think it was Kathleen who originally introduced me to this series. I loved the idea of tiny people taking our missing keys to use in their households. I read these books again with Grace and Tyler. "
