Gossamer Audiobook

" This book is short, I don't know how the author put so much meaning into one tiny book. It was one of the best books I've ever read. It probably took a lot of creativity to write this book. It has such a unusual plot. I would advise this book to any young girl. "

" Really enjoyed this book. A new angle on the power of good and its ability to triumph over seemingly insurmountable odds. I so enjoy a spiritual edge to stories like this! "

" I am listening to this one. I can't wait till I am done with it. It is a little slow. "

" This book was ok but not the best it had not a lot of details "

" I had high hopes for Lois Lowry's Gossamer, touted to be "a haunting story that tiptoes between reality and imagination." I found it plaintive but not compelling, sweet but not profound. I'll return to The Giver--Lowry's best! "

" I really enjoyed this book, it had the same feel as "The Giver" but was for a younger audience. I'd recommend to all. "

" Lowry tackles the subject of where dreams and nightmares come from, and how they get in our heads. This book was okay, although I would have liked to know more about what happened with John. "

" An interesting, thought changing book that left me awake some nights thinking about what happens when I dream. I would naturally prefer something else, but the Gossamer was a pretty good book. "

" A beautiful story from a master storyteller. Be warned, the descriptions of abuse are tough to take. "

" This is a sweet book about dream -givers (and nightmare -givers, too). I loved the imagery of a small creature touching a person's belongings and give memories to the sleeper. Not as great as the Giver, but worth reading. "

" What a sweet and delightful little book about the power of dreams, hope, memory, and family! Charming and moving. "

" A quick, sweet read about what dreams are made of. "

" Great book OMG... Really cute! "

" This was an interesting book that centers around a very small theme of redemption. I liked the ending. It wasn't too saccharine sweet. The book didn't pretend to have all the answers. It was an interesting premise, learning about the characters through their dreams/memories. "

" It was a cute little story. It is a fast read "

" This book is really, really cute. An excellent kids book. "

" a beautiful book about the life of our dream givers! "

" This is another in Lois Lowry's fanciful worlds. We are taken into the realm of dream-makers, and follow them as they weave the dreams of a young boy and an old woman. This is a fascinating story, and was a thoroughly enjoyable read. "

" Cute story...I liked it, but not my favorite Lois Lowry book. "

" I could not finish this one. The themes of child abuse, neglect and deadbeat dads is too close to my life right now. "

" Lowry proves to once again be one of my all time favorites! Not sure why I haven't read this one before, but it was such a treat to read. "

" Intriguing story about dream-givers and the power of kindness. "

" I had forgotten how much I love Lois Lowry's books but hats the abrupt endings. "

" i don't know, very slow going i did not like it..... "

" Enjoyable exploration into the world of dreams, as well as learning to help others. With this novel, Lowry offers a uniquely illustrated look at our histories and how they can shape our future, as well as how we are helped by others. "

" The Sinisteeds are on their way. Galloping horses bringing nightmares. Littlest One is just learning to deliver pleasant dreams for humans, but time may be running out for her charge, John. The hoard of Sinisteeds is on the way. Can John survive? Can Littlest One save the day? "

" I usually really like Lois Lowry books but this one I had a really hard time getting into. although it's a very easy read. "

" A great read about a damaged boy and a dream giver. "

" fairy tale story of hope, love, and laughter in the face of domestic abuse "

" Lois Lowry is always good. This one is mild and gentle. "

" Another gem recommended from my daughter Elizabeth. A beautiful little story about love and family. Lowry has a very good imagination--I enjoyed her ideas about how dreams and nightmares are created. "

" while written at a lower reading level, tenderly deals with heavy issues of abuse and hope. "

" I loved this book. So vivid and creative while still 'keepin it real'. I read it front to back twice in a row. So sweet and inciteful while at the same time fanciful and almost scary at times. Very worthwhile! "

" I predict more awards for Lowry with this, her latest. Amazing. Such a touching story of becoming--for the dream giver, who is the main character, and for those she bestows her gifts upon. I like to think of the transformations as an evolution of the soul. "

" Read this in one sitting. I could not have asked for a more comforting book. "

" Quick little breath of a book. Fun to read. I will recommend it to certain students. "

" awesome!!! finally a decent COMPLETE ENDING!!!!! "

" Gossamer is an AWESOME word. Even awesomer than 'awesome' is. "

" I am listening to this one. I can't wait till I am done with it. It is a little slow. "

" I liked this book, but the more I've thought about it since finishing it, I've realized I LOVE this book. I'm not very quick on picking up on symbolism at all, but I eventually did after a little thinking! It was a quick, 1-hour read, but it has a really good message. "

" The thought provoking story of how dreams and nightmares occur. Loved this talw of Littlest One and her strength to save John and abused little boy from the Sinisteeds (nighmare givers) after he goes to live with an older woman in forster care. I loved it! "
