The Quilt Audiobook

" Took a while to get into. Didn't have very many interesting parts. Not a very good ending. "

" It was a sad story, but I liked it. "

" Gary Paulsen is a great author. (Hatchet) I was particularly drawn to this title due to my obsession with them (quilts) I was not disappointed. Today we make quilts from "designer" lines of fabric. This story told of an era where the "quilt told the story and the story was our past". Great book. "

" I like Gary Paulsen's books. I read this aloud to my daughter and found it to have enough of the war in it for her to grasp the seriousness of it without being too graphic. It is a sad book, but it is about carrying on amidst the trials that surround us. A good message no matter what age. "

" Sweet and subtle tale of a six year old boy who accompanies his grandmother to care for his cousin who is about to give birth. Set in 1940's small-town Minnesota, it's a quiet mediation on family and living and dying. "

" An amazing tale of Gary Paulsen's childhood. Being a big fan of my own family history, it was nice to read a short story of a small boy remembering a time when he learned about his own ancestors. Sweet! "

" This was different from the Paulsen I remembered, The Hatchet. It's a nice little memoir of his experience at his Grandma's as a child. If you want to understand Paulsen's life a little bit better, you can read the trilogy he writes about his experiences at Alida's Wisconsin farm. "

" it was just a little story really...I read it in 30 min. Made me thankful for community, family, and grandparents! "

" Beautiful prose about Norwegian-American women during WWII. "

" I don't have much to say about this other than it was entirely forgettable. Paulsen's style, which was intriguing in The Hatchet, seemed overly dramatic for this book. And maybe just a tad annoying. I'll wait until I hear a book is fabulous before trying another one by Paulsen. "

" Gary Paulsen is a wonderful author and I just adore his books. I recommend his books to children and adults alike. "

" What a wonderful, heart-warming story. It is told with all the innocence of the 6-year-old narrator. "

" Ranked right up there with Alida's Song and a beautiful grandson grandmother relatioonship narrative. "

" Can't believe I've had this book so long on my shelf waiting for me to pick up and read! Sorry Gary Paulsen. This was well worth it! "

" This fun, short read offers an interesting insight on life: the perspective of a young boy. As cliche as that sounds, this book really does explore everything from childbirth to death. While at times the story feels overly sentimental, the book is nonetheless a beautiful tribute to women. "
