The Second Jungle Book Audiobook

" horrible book...didn't like it at all!!! "

" This is one of the first books I ever read for pleasure. It took me until college to really start reading. "

" liked 3 of the 7 stories in particular Kaa's Hunting and Toomai of the Elephants "

" I am unsure that I have ever this, all the way through; my first reading was a different edition, as a child. These stories are classic must-reads "

" Splendid book. Lovely prose, dark themes, exciting adventures - I loved it. "

" only book my dad ever read to me. the characters came alive on the page. "

" I liked The Jungle Books. The story of Mowgli was not at all like the story in the Disney movie. I thought the book was good and definitely worth reading at least one time. I really liked the short story called Riki-Tiki-Tavi. "

" Read when I was a young teen - captivating then. Remains a prized book on my shelf. "

" A must for all parents to read to their children. "

" This was completely different than the severely watered down Disney version. I was surprised to find out this was actually a collection of poems and short stories. "

" A classic children's book another ont that will live on forever. "

" An enjoyable audiobook, well read, of the classic children's story. My daughter likes this one. "

" There's no doubt, Kipling is a writer of excellent prose, and the ideas behind the Jungle Book stories (in this book especially, the defeat of the Red Dogs - wow), so why only three stars? Actually, because I just don't like Mowgli..... "

" Who knew rikki tikki tavi was a jungle book? "

" This is a classic but is very difficult to get through in parts. "

" How can you NOT love Kipling? Every story so lush with African imagery; bedtime stories for Kipling's child... "

" I would give the stories about Mowgli a 3+ or maybe even a 4. But the other random stories in there were just ok - so it averages out to a 3. "

" Interesting. Each chapter skips from Mowgli to another tale, then back to Mowgli and so forth. I didn't really understand the ending, it was old English. But an interesting book, overall. "

" The second volume of Jungle Book stories by Rudyard Kipling is at the very least equal to the first. Together they make up my favourite of all Kipling's writing. "

" finally read this children's classic last year. Good stories, most of which I was familiar with from movies, so it was good to read the originals...that said, although the stories are good, the writing was not what I expected...a little disappointed. "

" Was pleasantly surprised (at times) to find out that it was not always about Mowgli. Kipling is a genius. "

" Long with lots of disconnected stories. Kinda boring. :( "

" Unlike the first jungle book, I enjoyed the stories of Mowgli more than the independent stories in this book, and it was a satisfying end to how Mowgli's life was led. "

" Not as good as the first. Maybe because I was so much older when I read it. "

" This book is a little heavier and more deep than the first Jungle Book. I enjoyed it as much as I did the first. "

" I think that almost everyone has watched the movie "The Jungle Book". But I liked the book too because it wasn't all about Mowgli, Baloo and Bagheera - there were also a few short stories mixed in such as "The White Seal" and others about the jungle laws. "

" it was good but it was boring at most parts. "

" If it suffers at all it's only in unfai comparison to the incomparable first volume. A great read. "

" i loved the continuation of the mowgli stories. i thought it was fascinating to read about the other animals or people in the rest of the book too. "

" I enjoy the first JB immensely. This one is all right. No real need to read it again. "

" A great storey for children that can be enjoyed by adults. This is a continuation of the life of Mowgli, the young orphan boy who was raised by wolfs. There are many adventures with his lovable animal friends & life lessons as he learns the Laws of the jungle. "

" I really liked the underlying morals in the story of Mowgli; as well as the ideas about law and self-governing. The story is filled with adventure. A good read for kids. (and adults:)) "

" The Jungle books are amazing! "

" More wonderful jungle stories by Kipling, most featuring Mowgli but all equally fascinating to read. "

" Not sure how I let this one slip past me as a kid, but it proved to be a pretty enjoyable read. Majority of the Mowgli stories are fun and engaging. The others are a mixed bag outside of "Riki-Tiki-Tavi." That story continues to rock, even without the assistance of Orson Welles :-) "

" Not quite as entertaining as the first collection of stories. There's no doubt that the Mowgli stories are the best. "

" Thoroughly enjoying the reading this classic once again. "

" Bit boring, but I didn't have anything else to read, so I decided to read this classic. I'd read Rikki Tikki Tavi back in 7th grade, & that's my favorite story in the book. Actually, I've only read the first Jungle Book. "

" Really good, didn't care for the elephant part though. "

" I didn't like this as much ad the first. True Mowgli is older so the tales were much darker. I think my main problem was there should've been more Mowgli stories. To me that's what The Jungle Book is. Not the other stories. & the last of the Mowgli stories left me feeling disappointed & flat. "

" Such a fun book. I've decided to put Kipling near the top of my "must read" books. "

" Perhaps it was due to the e-rendering of this, but I simply could not follow this from one story to the next. The language was terrible and the flow went missing half-way through the book. "

" A worthy follow-up to the first book, including more tales of Mowgli as he grows older. "

" In this second jungle book, we can rey, read more about Maugli, as he is growing. Actually, all of the characters passes throught an aging process. Althought it has less India magic, I can say I liked more this book, because of the adventures of Maugli, and the jungles Law. :) "

" Reading through this one with my kids. So far, it's great! "

" A selection of short stories that deals as much with seals, eskimoes and other such non-Titular schizzle as it does with Mowgli and the jungle. Too many 'songs' for me. Didn't enjoy it nearly as much as "Kim". "

" I'm a big fan of fables. Rudyard Kipling has a way of inhabiting each animal in its own skin. There is a sense of foreboding in the stories of man against nature. "

" This book remind me my chilhood "

" I know these stories by heart, almost! "

" Re-reading again after over 50 years. Very enjoyable and realaxing read. I enjoyed some of the stories other than the ones about Mowgli and Rikki Tikki Tavi, but I still skipped the story about the seal. Maybe I'll finish it in another 50 years. "

" Not quite what I expected, but good nontheless. All I had to go on was the Disney cartoon. Lots of short stories, with some about other "people" than Mowgli. "

" Finally! I'm done!! Hated that book :P "

" If you want to make your pal Mike cry- read him the passage where Mowgli decides to leave the jungle and rejoin the ManPack. "

" Read this because it's one of the classics. "

" Such a fun book. I've decided to put Kipling near the top of my "must read" books. "

" Enjoyed the various stories - very different from the Disney movie I was always used to. "
