The Car Audiobook (Unabridged)

" really good book fast read and full of action "

" in the very beginning of this book, i thougt it was pretty weird because both parents called and said they were leaving and never coming back. Then, it seemed kind of stupid because there is no way a fourteen year old kid can build a car all by himself without any experience in cars. but it started getting good as soon as waylon was in the picture. i didnt know if he could be some sort of murderer or he was just some dude looking for a ride. then, when wayne (one of waylon's friend) appered in the story it told a little bit more about waylon and him being gay. but my favorite part in this book so far was when they were gambling and won a crap load of money. but overall i enjoyed this book. "

" If you are of the male species you will like this book. "

" Gary Paulsen is really a great author and in this book the writing and plot are pretty good so far, but there are so many references to car parts and car slang that sometimes I have no idea what is going on. "

" It left you hanging I would like to bet there is a sequel though "

" I thought it would of been better but i thought it was a little disappointing for how the story turned out in the ending. "

" This is a good book for boys. The setting is traveling in a car the main character, Terry built himself. He is a twelve-thirteen year old kid that runs into two Vietnam vets and travels with them to "learn things". I enjoyed the ending, but I had a person tell me they didn't care for it and neither did their family. I would add this to your school library. "

" This book is a good read for those interested in adventure. It has cases of hardship. It also features some mystery. The Car is a good book for young teens as there is some vulgar language a few times, as well as some sexual context. "

" I read Paulsen's Hatchet in middle school, and since then I've been eager to read more of his work. The Car is a great, short read that offers an adventure any teenager dreams of. "

" One of the best books I've read! "

" I enjoy all of Gary Paulsen's writing. "

" eh. I usually like Paulsen. this one did nothing for me--maybe this one really was "too boy." And, I also don't think I like his repetition of Vietnam vets being portrayed as broken men killing machines. I liked it in The Crossing, but here... I don't know. Just didn't get it. "

" So far so good, i dislike the beginning - He was never happy with his parents. His parents left him at home and he doesn't know untill his parents called one at time and told him. The kid was a hard worker, and studies at the same time. "

" I Like This book i feel bad for him cause of his parents but um i am not done reading it yet "

" In this book terry is never act knowledge by his parents he does not fell loved by them or wanted. He gets a car kit and learns to put it together all by his self. With the car he travels to find his uncle he hardly knows. "

" This book to me is good but I think that it could have had a better ending. The authur is pretty much trying to leave you on a cliff hanger but its just not daring enough. Although I did like the situations that occur in the book. "

" How could parents leave their children? This forces children to grow up way faster than they should. At age fourteen, we should not have to worry about having food to eat or a place to stay. This book really puts things into perspective. I recommend this book, its pretty interesting. "

" It was good but I didn't like the ending so much. "

" Gary Paulsen proves once again that he can write a powerful, adventure ridden story that engages an audience of many ages. I was learning from this book I really was, and it has inspired me to go out and learn as much about things as I can. "

" I loved this book! One of my favorites from Gary Paulsen. "

" one of my students who shall remain nameless, who told me that he doesn't read, told me this was a great book after i hooked him up with gary paulsen's books. woohoo ***And it was! read it. "

" I liked the first 100 pages. Someone who know a lot about cars will enjoy that too. I did NOT like the ending . . . too many unanswered questions!!! "
