The Silver Spoon of Solomon Snow Audiobook

" This was recommended by my sis. It was a great fun read with great characters and a fun plot. It reminded me of the Magician's Elephant in the way that is flowed and gathered speed until all the characters were gathered together for the ending. I will definitely have my boys read this one. I already am scoping out the sequel for more Solomon Snow. "

" This is a fun kid book about a search for self. It is rather predictable, and I may hate the series by the third book, but I have the next one on hold at the library. "

" This was so much fun to read outloud to the kids...lots of accents to do. We are still laughing at how I mangled the Prodigy's voice more than once. We've moved on to the second Solomon Snow book and are enjoying that one just as much. "

" This book was hilarious. I loved the author's ability to make it zany but not over the top ridiculous. "

" This was such a great read aloud book for my girls. An exciting story with very unique characters. Each night my girls would laugh as I imitated the voice of the Prodigy... It did leave us wanting a bit more, so we will have to get the next book! "

" Quick read but not that original...as she was trying to copy Dickens' Oliver Twist. But even so, I felt it still lacked depth. "

" One of my all-time favorite read-alouds. "

" A children's version of Dickens. It's okay, but I've read series I have enjoyed more. "

" it was a long time ago so i dont remember too much "

" Kind of boring, but also somewhat good book... "

" An exciting adventure about an orphan in search of his true parents. "

" It's written like you are sitting there listening to someone tell a story. It was fun to read this different style of writing. "

" A bit schmaltzy but the surprise ending and the unique characters make it a fun read. "

" Corky and cute. "

" It was a great kids book. Full of adventure and hilarity. I was a little surprised by the ending but I guess that's what makes a good story. "

" it was a cute book but I didn't laugh out loud like the review said. Am I tempted to read on the series?? Not really, but maybe I might. "

" I listened to the audiobook which was very well done. It didn't always go as expected and was quite quirky and funny. "

" This was really bizarre, really random, and really funny. The illustrations fit the book perfectly. "

" This book ends with a suprising twist. "

" My sons teacher gave me this book to read. I thought it was fun. It was great adventure. Just a great kid story. "

" I listened to this book on CD while I cleaned and while I was in the car. I enjoyed listening to the lady who narrated this story. I don't know what it would be like to read this book, but the CD sure made cleaning a lot more tolerable! ;) "

" a romp through a foundling tale, not quite in the vein of the Series of Unfortunate Events but reminiscent of those. Apparently there are more to find and read "

" I remember I loved it, and it felt very Dickensian. "

" just a little confusing at first "

" Reminiscent of Lemony Snicket's Series of Unfortunate Events but distinctly British and less evil adults. "

" It's written like you are sitting there listening to someone tell a story. It was fun to read this different style of writing. "

" just a little confusing at first "

" Loved loved LOVED this book and its sequel. Wonderful to read aloud. The girls and I ADORED it. "

" This book was quite fun to read. The language was pseudo Charles Dickens era. Which ended up with some quite clever word play. The twist at the end of the book was also quite good. I enjoy books that play with our expectations of what is a typical story arc. "

" I remember I loved it, and it felt very Dickensian. "

" My daughters enjoyed it, although it may have been the goofy voices that I did. "

" "I just thought it was good, okay?!" Eleanor--age 9 1/2 [She liked it enough to want to read the sequel:] "

" I found this ridiculous Dickens-inspired novel very charming. I particularly loved the Infant Prodigy and her all-but-comatose Mr. Skippy. "

" This book was hilarious. I loved the author's ability to make it zany but not over the top ridiculous. "

" I didn't actually read this but the audio book was fantastic! "

" it was a long time ago so i dont remember too much "

" Fantastic! No one would want to go to bed without finish the book! How can a boy who is so kind helped all his friends but himself? Don't know what I meant? I don't want to tell you the end, but it was the highest point of the book. So all I can say here is that, "Go read the book!" "

" I had heard what a great book this was, and I must say I was a little disappointed. It was funny at times, but a little strange. "

" This was such a great read aloud book for my girls. An exciting story with very unique characters. Each night my girls would laugh as I imitated the voice of the Prodigy... It did leave us wanting a bit more, so we will have to get the next book! "

" One of my all-time favorite read-alouds. "
