Book Review March 10, 2008
Brian Anderson
Where The Red Fern Grows is an excellent story which transcends age related interest groups defined as adult or children. This story shares timeless moral and value concepts inherent in religous and philosophical traditions. An easy read, this heartfelt story will touch anyone who has compassion for others and can see beyond the self.

Where the Red Fern Grows is a beautiful story. The story has excellent descriptions. The Ozarks seem like a beautiful place to live. It just shows how much effort one little boy put in to buy his hunting hounds. The end of the book made me cried. Where the red fern grow is the best book I ever read. I don't think anybody could dislike this book. Wilson Rawls is an excellent author.

This book, like many of my favorites, I first read as a child. It touched me deeply then and I still enjoy reading it now and again as an adult. The author did an amazing job of weaving the characters and story into a very heartwarming lesson of family and gratitude for the people and things in life that make it all worth living. I will purchase this book for my 8 year old son this Christmas and recommend it as a great book to read with your children as a forum for teaching thankfulness and that family is the most precious gift of all.

I first read Where The Red Fern Grows when I was 13 years old. I had seen the movie on several occasions, but it wasnt untill the sad death of my own Old Dan that I felt that I just had to read the book. Like the Coleman family, mine was very poor living in the dried up south east Texas oil fields. Many was the time that My only companion was my dog Old Dan. Many was the time that the only activities there were for me to do was going exploring through the woods that surrounded our home for miles and miles. I would find it hard to believe that anyone cant find some part of this story to relate to. Before I read Where The Red Fern Grows, I had never read a book in my life. Not only did I discover a wonderful story that I was almost living out myself, but also I discovered a massive love for reading. All I can say is that you are selling yourself short if you dont read this story. I think I'll go pick up my copy and read it again.
