The Kids Are All Right: A Memoir Audiobook

" a damn fine memoir. damn fine, i tell ya. "

" I liked this one a lot, but I wasn't crazy about how they handled the rotating narration. A bit confusing. "

" Interesting memoir, worth the read. Good storytelling. "

" I liked the family in this book and their strength as they lived through some tragic times. I also liked the 80's references. "

" Please, read this book. It's an autobiography written from 4 different points of view and the storytelling is amazing, as is the story. "

" Loved it! And love Grubby Girl! "

" This book has nothing to do with the movie by the same name. It reminded me a lot of Jeanette Walls, The Glass Castle. I loved that each chapter was told from the perspective of one of the four siblings. What a great family...I truly enjoyed this book tremendously. "

" I liked this memoir almost as much as The Glass House. It is written by all 4 of the kids who went to live with different families after both parents died. Seeing the difference in perspective and interpretation of the same events by 4 different people was very intriguing. Fascinating lives lead. "

" An honest, heartbreaking, compelling book that I hated to finish. "

" Recommended. Easy to read. Interesting look at a family struggling to stay together despite barriers. Life age and stage influences perceptions of significant events. An interesting activity within my own family would be to identify an event and ask everyone to write what they remember about it. "

" I kept waiting for them to be "all right," but their story never seemed to get to that positive place that I thought they deserved. I guess nonfiction can be that way. "

" How four children survived losing both parents while young is amazing. And they turned out alright. They got together and shared their lives in this book. "

" Mary McCarthy meets V.C. Andrews. "

" The book kept my attention while the parents were still alive, although the writing style of half the kids bothered me. The remaining third of the book was tiresome. "

" It was OK for awhile, then just became tedious... "

" That I have to be so thankful for the life I have led to this point. "

" Funny, sad, honest, and sometimes perplexing, this book follows the Welch children as they navigate the very difficult waters of losing one and then another parent. Engaging, but not for the faint of heart. "

" Engaging read about 4 siblings whose father, then mother dies, leaving them destitute and split up into different homes until they reunite as adults, each having lived through a lot. I recommend it! "

" I did like this book. The story of these kids is pretty amazing. "

" This was an OK memoir. Its was an interesting perspective to get from all of the Welch kids. Very sad. "

" It's a true story about four siblings who face separation from each other after both of their parents die. "

" This book has nothing to do with the movie by the same name. It reminded me a lot of Jeanette Walls, The Glass Castle. I loved that each chapter was told from the perspective of one of the four siblings. What a great family...I truly enjoyed this book tremendously. "

" Wow. What a great story of resilience. These kids lost both of their parents when they were still kids and this book tells that story and how the each managed the loss and resulting separation from each other. Well written. Highly recommended. "

" This book was not at all what I expected. That being said, it was overall an interesting look into the window of a family that was orphaned but still determined to stay together. No real surprises or plot twists, this book is straight memoir and ended as one would have hoped. "

" I did like this book. The story of these kids is pretty amazing. "

" Loved it. Four perspectives of four siblings during a horrible time. And their reconsicle and recovery. Perfect read. "

" Extremely easy reading; dad dies in car accident, mom dies of cancer; 4 kids separated & all living at different places, all feeling lost. "

" Really liked this book, but am bummed to find out that it is not the plot the movie is based on. The guy at Half Priced Books didn't know what he was talking about! "
