The Postcard Audiobook

" This book was odd ... and the story within a story made no sense. However, it was still entertaining, and when it comes to audiobooks on the way to work, that is more important than plot cohesion. "

" Fun filled mystery for all ages to enjoy! "

" For rades 5-8. Edgar Award. 2008. "

" Hmmm. I read this because I liked the cover and need to read more YA mysteries. I might recommend this for middle schoolers, because it is a clever mystery book - full of clues found in postcards, old magazines. I couldn't get past the wooden characters, though. "

" I read this at the recommendation of a friend of mine who works as a librarian at a middle school. I have to say, though, that I wasn't too impressed. It was a somewhat interesting story, but the writing style was immature and irritating. The "mystery" was long and drawn-out, especially since it was pretty obvious from the start what had happened. It definitely is for a younger crowd, but I don't think that means that the writing shouldn't be as good. "

" i keep going back and forth on the rating - 2? 3? i'm not really sure! the book had a good story to it - not an elementary school student story, so it probably won't go back into my book library - but it would drag. there was a story within the story. they both had very interesting parts, but the story within was not as captivating in the writing style. the ending kind of left you hanging through. i think that if the writing had been better and some of it had been cut out, this could easily have been a 4 book! it's an almost 3 book, because of those things though. "

" I really enjoyed this book. It is definitely for 5th graders, or advanced 4th graders. This book could easily be found in at the middle school, too. It is one mystery after another! "

" I thought that this book was awesome. It was exciting from beggining until the end. "

" I didn't get into this one. Aborted. "

" weird. I don't recommend it.... "

" I recommend "The Postcard" by Tony Abbott for people who like mysteries within mysteries. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat with the postcard chapters. Follow Jason and Dia through a boatload of mysteries. "

" I had a lot of fun reading this one. Good mystery, lots of twists & turns, & lots of Florida lore. "

" It was a very good book, but i read it in the beginning of third grade it was sooooooooo good! "

" It was really long, and the end was a rip- off. It was pretty good in the beginning and middle, but the end was really dumb. "

" Slow start but I eventually got into it. Good Middle school mystery. "

" I disliked the tone of the book (which accounts for most of the low score) but the story grew on me, so that the tone no longer irritated me by the last fourth of the story or I no longer noticed it. I had to read this to the conclusion to see how it ended. "

" There were a lot of characters. Maybe too many. I had a hard time keeping track of the Oobarabs. I also had a hard time keeping track of Jason's inability to emote. Dia was funny, though, even if she seemed a bit tacked-on. Read for a lecture on MYSTERIES! "

" I really enjoyed this book, especiallly the illustrations, but some of it seemed to me to be rather mature for its intended audience. The hero is apparently just finishing either 7th or 8th grade and he has to deal with some fairly intense revelations about his grandmother. "

" i didnt really get it towrds the end...i dont do mysteries! "

" Well, meh. I liked the idea of this book more than the actual execution. I'm not sure it's riveting enough to hold young readers' attentions. It felt a little like geocaching, which I did like. "

" an amazing mystery, staring from a postcard that leads to the past of his dead grandmother and unknown grandfather. "

" I feel like I'm dumping this book because I just never read it anymore. I guess it just wasn't the book for me. "

" This is a fun mystery to read. A young boy unwillingly goes to Fla. when his grandmother whom he barely knew dies only to get involved in a mystery that tells him who his grandmother was and why his father and she barely got along. "

" Subbing in the media center is great because I get to read books in my spare time! "

" Don't bother!! Very poorly written, lame story. It was a waste of time. "

" I thought that this book was awesome. It was exciting from beggining until the end. "

" I didn't get into this one. Aborted. "

" i didnt really get it towrds the end...i dont do mysteries! "

" This book was a really good mystery. "

" Interesting so far. I love Tony Abbot! "

" if you like funny mysteries you would like reading this book. "

" This nook is horrible and dumb don't ever read it it is the most boring book ever written "

" I loved all the suspense and thrill that Jason and Dia had to Overcome. "

" i soo didnt lik dis book "

" I recommend "The Postcard" by Tony Abbott for people who like mysteries within mysteries. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat with the postcard chapters. Follow Jason and Dia through a boatload of mysteries. "
