The Fields of Home Audiobook

" I am really liking this series of books. There is something wonderful about the simple yet poetic way Moody writes about farming and ranching. This one started off slow, but ended delightfully! "

" Got a little tired of the grandfather's language, but there are some awesome insights into human nature. "

" This is one of my all time favorite series. I have 3 more books to go. Will definitely read these again - as a family and by myself. "

" Just finished this and Shaking the Nickel Bush by the same author. I love that they are autobiographical, and I've really fallen in love with Ralph. I'll be looking him up in the next life. The first two books (Little Britches and Man of the Family) are the best, but these are good, also. "

" Ralph gets into trouble and is sent to help is Grandfather on a farm in Maine. He has to deal with a VERY HARD person, and to learn from him and his Uncle Levi. I loved Uncle Levi. "

" This series keeps getting better. Ralph has trouble living in the city so his mother sends him to live with her father on his farm in Maine. Raplh and Grandfather have a "war" about how to run the farm, but end up with peace and properity. "

" Another 'coming of age' genre read. Troubled teenager sent to live on Grandpa's farm. Ralphie and his Grandfather conflict almost immediately but find mutual respect in their love of the farm. Appropriate for young readers. "

" The fourth book in the Little Britches series and great just like the others. This one starts off being frustrating to read but gets much better. "

" Starts out so frustrating - Grandpa is a difficult man, to say the least, but it is well worth the read. "

" Good...I didn't enjoy the story as much as his first one, but I probably learned more. "

" We read this as a family. It was good, I like the Ralph Moody books. :) "

" I really enjoyed the author's memoir of a year on his granfather's farm in Maine when he was 15 in 1912. He does make himself out as a very clever boy -- but maybe he was. I'm planning now to read his first book, Little Britches. "

" This was a lucky find at the library book sale. The third "autobiography" of Ralph Moody's life was just as enjoyable as the first two. I was engrossed in the story, attached to the characters and greatly enjoyed this book. Very clean, highly recommended and a wonderful slice of America. "

" I am reading all of Ralph Moody's books! The series starts with Little Britches. Some are more enjoyable to read than others. This one was so cute! I wanted to move to Maine and farm with them even if the grandpa was onery!!! I know this book wouldn't appeal to everyone but I really liked it. "

" We have read this series as a family. We loved the first book the best but have enjoyed them all so much. "

" The whole set of Ralph Moody books rank at the very top of read-aloud books with our children. We have read them all several times. This is my favorite. What a powerful story of the contending of wills between an old man and his grandson. You won't forget this story. "

" My least favorite in the series "

" My favorite Ralph Moody book so far. His memoirs of growing up in 1910's America show how much life has changed in 100 years. I doubt teens today could do half of what they did back then. "
