About this audiobook
Once again blending multiple story strands that transcend time and place, Grasshopper Jungle author Andrew Smith tells the story of 15-year-old Ariel, a refugee from the Middle East who is the sole survivor of an attack on his small village. Now living with an adoptive family in Sunday, West Virginia, Ariel's story of his summer at a boys' camp for tech detox is juxtaposed against those of a schizophrenic bomber and the diaries of a failed arctic expedition from the late nineteenth century. Oh, and there's also a depressed bionic reincarnated crow.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was definitely an interesting book, to say the least. I have to admit though that, if I hadn't of been reading it for my book club, I probably wouldn't have finished it at first. I was completely confused for the longest time as to what was actually going on, other than boys being at a camp and old journal entries from a ship that had sank previously. I just didn't see any of the connections for the longest time and it felt overwhelmingly disconnected, which I hated. But then towards the end, every thing connected well and made complete sense. So it gets three stars from me, which is good.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5this might be amazing (the author certainly has received some nice reviews) but I don't care to piece together a mystery (what the heck is going on) in the first few pages, and it didn't hook me enough to keep reading.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Andrew Smith does not dissapoint: fantastically weird.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5A disturbing read! Undoubtedly well written, but so disturbing, and sometimes confusing with the several different strands running through the book. Ariel is the only person to survive an attack on his village. He is taken in by a friendly American soldier, and ends up living with a very strange family in America. All is not as it seems, and some events seem too far fetched and a bit too sci-fi for comfort.An interesting read, but not for the faint hearted
