What Jamie Saw Audiobook

" The story is about a father throwing his baby out of a crib in the middle of the night and the family moves away from the father. This is basically the whole story. The story was very descriptive which gave me a good sense of what the surroundings look like but, not enough going on for the plot of the story. This story was a very quick read but it very confusing. There was no real climax to this story, and if there was it was right at the end. Nothing really exciting took place which was a bummer. Honestly the best party of the book was when I finished. The second best part of the book was that it was only 126 pages. The high point was when the Nin the baby was thrown out of the crib by her father and nothing really happened in the story after this event that was worth writing about. This book definitely could be a decent story for younger children who just read for practice. If you are someone who likes to read books, you would probably hate this book because this book has nothing really to offer for excitement, or the ability to get lost in the plot of the story. The one thing the author did a really good job at was being super descriptive about the surroundings mentioned in the book. In the end I would never recommend this book to any of my friends or family as a good and interesting book to read. "

" This book was eerie, almost screwed up, the whole situation, and i honestly didn't find any of the characters particularly likable, either... "

" A boy, his mom and baby sister run away from abusive father and live in poverty and fear. "

" This book was very hyped but I thought it was quite predictable. "

" This was a book that looked more like a juvenile fiction book, but the themes really make it more of a young adult book. I really liked the boy's point of view. "

" It was good. I read it in two hours, but at the end it didn't seem like the right place to stop. I couldn't think of any other place in the story for it to though, and couldn't think of anything to add to the plot. "

" Harsh, but a good story about overcoming and moving on. "

" very intense story about things that could very well happen to someone "

" This story exemplifies what so many kids go through these days, and it was heartbreaking to read Jamie's story. This book may be fictional, but it was an amazing story. "

" I read this book one night while I was working in the bookstore. I was shelving books in the children's section and I opened it up to read the first line. It is one of the most memorable first lines in modern children's fiction. "

" This book was well written but the subject matter seemed very adult. I am not sure I would want a young person to read it without an adult to discuss it with. I think it may be confussing in parts. "

" What a heavy story. It rings so true. A great read. "

" An interesting, thought provoking read. I would not recommend this book to children who have not been in abusive situations, but to a child who has been, this book could be useful. There is a small amount of profanity in the book, which I think is unnecessary in a children's book. "

" it was cute--a boy's view of domestic violence and the fear that lingers after you get "out" "

" Don't think it was written very well and it left too many questions unanswered. "

" Just okay. It is a young adult book about a boy who witnessed abuse of a younger sibling. The mother was smart enough to walk away immediately. The book deals with some of his emotional issues following the event. "

" Good for kids to read in school. Good for poor people to read with their cake. "

" This book shows how even witnessing abuse is traumatic to a child. It is well-written and thought provoking without trying to be purposely shocking. "

" This was a fast read. I finished it in a day. For a subject matter that was so serious, it lacked the meat and potatoes of the story. I was expecting more of a climax when the abusing boyfriend showed up. It was a nice attempt but lacking. "

" it is a good book but it its a weired book "

" Good for kids to read in school. Good for poor people to read with their cake. "

" It's what a child's perspective is of an abusive relationship and what a mother needs to do to help her family survive. The hardest part is what a child has for interpretation and understanding what happens after a situation. "

" Just okay. It is a young adult book about a boy who witnessed abuse of a younger sibling. The mother was smart enough to walk away immediately. The book deals with some of his emotional issues following the event. "

" easy poetic read with a great lead sentence. "
