5.0 out of 5 stars Simply an enjoyable read, 11 Feb 2006

By	Laura Gibson (Alton, Hampshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Where the Red Fern Grows: The Story of Two Dogs and a Boy (Paperback)

18 years ago my school had all of us kids read this book. Now, at 30 years old, I just had to have it again because I never forgot the book. It is a well-written classic, one every child and adult must read at least once. It brings back the spirit of youth, something which seems to have now been lost. Fantastic.

5.0 out of 5 stars I'VE READ THIS MORE THAN 30 TIMES!, 9 May 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Where the Red Fern Grows (Hardcover)

This heartwarming tale is my favorite book. Where the Red Fern grows is about a young boy named Billy Coleman who saves up his money for two years to buy the two Redbone Coonhounds that he saw advertised. From then on, adventures explode infront of him and his two dogs, Old Dan and Little Ann. How will he train them? Will he catch the Ghost coon? Can he win the hunting championship? Throughout all of their adventures, the trio becomes a loving, devoted, inseperable team. But Billy doesn't realize their uttermost devotion until one night while hunting, they tree a mountain lion by mistake, and Old Dan and Little Ann save him, Old Dan fighting with the most loyalty and rage. But in the end, Old Dan's sacrifice turned out to be too great, and he died. Little Ann is still with the Coleman family until after Old Dan died. Ann was Dan's lifelong compainion, and she couldn't bear without him. So sadly two days later, she dies from lonliness and heartbreak. After that Billy finds out that he is moving next spring, so he tries and tries to forget his dogs but is still plaiged with pain. Yet on moving day in the spring, he discovered that on the hillside where his two dogs are buried side by side, a beautiful and stunning red fern had grown between their bodies. The red fern comes from an old indian legend, and it is the strogest sign of love. Only an angel can plant one, it never dies, and where one is, that spot is sacred. After moving, the story ends with one final segment, which I think is the part where I start sobbing. This is an elaborately detailed book, and doesn't just jump from one thing to another. It is well in order. Also, this book is the kind of book that you can read more than 1 times, for me, it would be more than 30 times! This book also makes me cry every single time. :)
