The Conch Bearer Audiobook

" Not a bad book, quite a lot of magic though. "

" A page turner, with marvelous bits of wisdom, but so predictable, as I'm finding so many youth adventure books to be. My main annoyance right now is woman writers who write male hero's. However, it is a good read. I think it's a little too scary for my 10 year old, but probably not most 10 American 10 year olds. "

" My 9 year old son recommended I read this book and I'm glad I did. In fact he said "Mommy, you MUST read this book" to be more specific. Set in India, it was wonderfully written. A great story about a young girl and boy finding themselves in an adventure to return a magical conch shell. This is a book to seek out, as it's nothing like today's adventure stories and most kids won't willingly pick it up. Well worth the read! "

" first book mt grade 3 teacher read to us best ever "

" This is a fantastic book! The author writes it so you never find out anything about the charecters personaility, but in a very good way. It has an interesting story line and is very unique. A great book. "

" THIS IS SUCH A GREAT BOOK AND I LOVED SOO MUCH! I HEARD IT ON DISK AND THE VOICES WITH THE STORYLINE WAS INCREDIBLE. "

" Ada hal-hal yang kelihatan tidak masuk akal, tapi benar benar ada. Dan pekerjan yang sangat sulit bisa menyampaikan ide kepada manusia di seluruh dunia tentang hal-hal yang sulit dipahami logika. Tapi Chitra Banerjee sukses menunjukkan apapun yg ingin disampaikannya dan membuatnya mudah dimengerti. "

" Good book! Good lessons about Honesty, Loyalty, and Compassion. "

" I liked the middle, not the beginning and not the end, to sad. "

" arabian knights "

" A simplistic tale with polarized characters and thinly veiled moralistic take-home points. Would be nice if Indian audio books could be read by persons able to pronounce the names correctly. "

" It was amazing! I mean it was so good! "

" I liked this story, and it was well-written and a good adventure. The end was so disappointing though. He shouldn't have chosen the shell over his family. I know they forgot about him, but it is still sad that they'll never remember the son and brother they had. "

" Interesting epic Indian fantasy. Not brilliant, but interesting. "

" OK. Lord of the Rings meets Momo. Maybe fantasy just isn't my genre. Kind of slow. Didn't like the boy's decision in the end. Still, refreshing to read a book set in India. Might be worth putting into my classroom library just for that. "

" I'm not finished yet, but had to say that Alan Cummings is wonderful reading this story! I'm listening to this on my commutes (one hour each way), and am really looking forward to hearing more. "

" This is the best book I've ever read. "

" Twelve year old Anand bears a heavy load of helping support his poverty-stricken mother and emotionally scarred sister in India. But a chance meeting with a mysterious man who tells him of a conch with magical powers changes his life forever. A great multicultural read. "

" Not amazing, but it kept my interest. Good read for Jr. High age that likes fanatsy, magic, mystery... "

" menurut ri,tema ceritanya sih mirip" lotr, tp seru,dan mengharukan.. "

" I always enjoyed Children's books, but this was one which actually doesnt fall in that category. Its not upto my expectations compared to "palace of illusions" which was my first book authored by Chitra Banerjee. "

" This book is so suspenseful you will not want to put it down. If you are fighting with your best friend read this book. It's not to the point about friendship but it hides it so cleverly that you would luv it!!!!!!!!!! "
