I really enjoyed this book My favorite character was probably Johanna She is a very strong character who can get through very hard things This book is about a kid named Finn, he planned on doing nothing but reading on his summer Johanna came in and they had the nest summer he could imagine.
Dari judulnya saya pikir buku ini bakal berisi cerita ajaib tentang anjing yang bisa nulis dan memberikan catatan kepada majikannya Dan memang awalnya kesan itu yang saya dapat Tapi ternyata Hehe no spoiler pBuku ini bercerita tentang seorang penderita kanker yang datang untuk menempati sebuah rumah yang ditinggal penghuninya yang pergi keluar negeri selama musim panas Istilahnya house sitting Jadi rumah itu dia tempati selama yang punya rumah pergi Ide bagus juga ya Secara rumah kalo kosong dit [...]
As a middle school librarian, I don t have to sell Paulsen, so I just had not taken the time to read this book before now However, this is not the typical outdoor adventure story so often associated with Paulsen Rather, the main character, Finn, is a socially awkward 14 yo boy who, along with his one close friend, gets involved in the life of a girl in her twenties with breat cancer who moves in next door I loved this book It has a little humor, a little teen awkwardness, a little serious, a lit [...]
It s been ages since I ve read a book that made me laugh out loud, frequently It felt good, and I m looking forward to getting to read another like it But this isn t just a funny book There s a lot going on here.Finn is a socially awkward loner, but that s not really the focus of the story The focus is on Finn s new neighbor, Johanna Johanna is 24, outgoing, lively, and she quickly befriends Finn and takes him under her wing She also has breast cancer Let me just point out that this is the firs [...]
AHHHH the feels This book was amazing It was like a non romantic TFIOS, but shorter and simpler.
14 year old Finn plans to have a quiet summer But when he meets Johanna, a 20 year old graduate who moves in next door, things change Johanna is currently undergoing chemotherapy, and Finn always tries to cheer her up When Johanna decides to hire Finn to plant a garden, Finn immediately takes the offer Johanna decides to run in the triathlon and she needs to raise money Finn and his friend Matthew go and stop by construction sites and nursery homes to find money for Johanna Finn then discovers h [...]
Most definitely I m not the target age group for this book I found it when I was on a shopping spree at a local bookstore and yep, I liked the cover and the first line of the book I had no idea it was a mid school targeted book If I had started it earlier in the day it would have been a one sitting read But it deals with issues like family, shyness, and indeed cancer, with compassion and a bit of bittersweetness plus it has a lovable dog I didn t fall into the book as I m oft to do with books ai [...]
Note from the Dog is a very good book that makes you actually see your true emotions The book also makes you visualizesthe story I liked the book because it makes me feel like I can do anything Finn a boy who is not very popular wanted to just sit at home and bearly talk to anyone but then a girl named Johanna a girl with cancer comes and house sits for Finn neighbor When she meets Finn and Mathew Finns best friend she sees something in them and has them sigh their names in her journal because i [...]
Notes From The Dog is a book about Finn, Johanna and Matthew.During the summer someone comes and house sits Finns neighbors Her name is Johanna and she has cancer She loves gardening Matthew is Finns best friend who helps him through a lot I really liked the main characters They had good personalities I agreed with their choices It had action and i guess i could say it was emotional at times I honestly didn t like the ending I have many questions and i am confused It ended very suddenly If you l [...]
I picked up my daughter from school last month, and as she got into the car, I noticed her eyes were red I asked her what happened and if she was alright, and then she exclaimed, Mom You HAVE to read Notes From The Dog , it is now on my top five favorite books I really didn t want to, as I had a lot of books on my to read list Then I started browsing her copy and got sucked in This is a must read for you and your kids If you have boys, I highly recommend it, as it is written in a early teen boy [...]
Theis is a great book I give it four stars It is a book about a young man who never really had much friends until one day This book is a great book also Beacause it is sort of a love story in a way But one thing I wish if if the book was a little longer at the end and had a little bit detail.
This book was great I think it was really well done with the sign of passion and love The way it flowed made it a fast and easy read Also it was great to see Finn change throughout the book as he learned and about Johanna and the outside world This book definitely deserves my 5 star.
I liked the book because the realistic friendship l liked that cancer didn t slow Johanna down and I liked that Fin got the chance to step out of his comfort zone and talk to people I think it made him a better person
I liked this book because it was touching how the first day they saw Johannah she had a book and she asked them to sign it because it was a book of things that made her day and how Finn did the garden for Johannah and that they ran the race for her in the end I just liked the overall story line.
What a great book to start 2018 off with a quick heart felt story that still has real life trials as well.
Even though there s a big dog on the cover of this book, it s not really about the dog This is Finn s story, and Matthew s story, and Johanna s story Dylan, the dog has a small part Finn and Matthew are 14 the summer Johanna in her 20s moves in next door she s house sitting and going to grad school for library science and fighting breast cancer and training for a triathlon Matthew is living with Finn and his father until his folks get their divorce all straightened out, and everyone seems to be [...]
4.5 I picked this up on a whim while strolling in the library the other day I was looking through the new YA books and this caught my eye I had no idea what the title was about because other than a few non descriptive blurbs which I hardly ever take at face value anyway there was nothing to tell me anything about the story But I took it out anyway I guess I liked the cover I ended up being surprised by the book It s a very fast read Very fast Like, a one sitting type deal The main topic is breas [...]
Fourteen year old Finn Duffy has plans for this summer reading books, hanging with his friend Matthew, and talking to as few people as possible Those plans go out the window when Johanna moves in next door Johanna, a twenty something woman, is housesitting for the summer, and also has breast cancer she hires Finn to plant a garden in his yard and teaches him some lessons about life in the process.This is what I like to call a happy cancer book , that is, it has cancer in it, but it deals with th [...]
Finn is 14 and feels like a total oddball He lives with his dad, his dog Dylan, and his best friend Matthew, who s moved in while his parents are busy getting divorced Finn hates talking to people, because he always feels like he s saying the wrong things, so he s hoping for a summer job where he doesn t have to talk to ANYONE Johanna, a graduate student who talks to Finn as an equal, arrives next door to house sit for the neighbors for the summer, and she hires him to create a garden for her Fi [...]
Gary Paulsen s Notes from the Dog is a beautiful, funny, life affirming story that I would place on a par with Sherman Alexie s The Absolutely True Diary of a Part time Indian, which I dearly loved Specifically, it s the story of a socially awkward introvert named Finn who plans to spend his summer vacation reading as many books as possible and interacting speaking with no than 12 people and four of those people are already accounted for i.e his dad, Grandpa, friend Matt, and dog Dylan Enter th [...]
It s hard to find a 12 year old who has not read Hatchet However, I find that those same kids have not heard of the books I especially enjoyed from Gary Paulsen, like Harris and Me and Cookcamp and now I can add this title The story is about a boy who wants nothing to do with other people, because he is a miserable failure at relationships of almost any kind He meets a woman who has cancer, and things begin to change She is one of those characters we all wish were real people She sees something [...]
I am a big fan of Gary Paulsen and his wonderful books They all have a similar theme survival and wilderness So I was surprised when I found out that Notes from the Dog had nothing to do with any of those This book was so heartwarming, touching, sad, beautiful, creative, memorable, and happy all at the same time that it s hard to believe it was all packed into one book Paulsen s wonderful storytelling mixes in with the most popular genre of books now reality From an unpopular boy s perspective, [...]
GARY PAULSENNotes for the Dog tells the story of fifteen year old Finn who is determined to speak to no than a dozen people during the summer However, when charismatic, energetic, twenty five year old Johanna moves in next door everything changes Johanna is a breast cancer survivor who appears determined to let little impede her dreams and progress She invokes Finn s help with building a garden, and similarly helps him to reach out to people Eventually, Finn talks to people than he remembers [...]
Just as I was tucking Seviah and Rya into bed tonight Seviah handed me this book and declared that she had just finished it because she couldn t put it down and it had a dumb ending but she really wanted me to read it What s a mom to do So I sat down by their beds and I read it I didn t find the ending as dumb as she did and I am really looking forward to discussing it together in the morning on our way to piano I loved the message offered to young people in this one It is a scary read in some w [...]
Notes From the Dog is a very quick read from Gary Paulson From the first beginning chapters I found that the book was very predictable and later confirmed my suspicions Another large problem is the thin plot which never intrigued me or made me question but was just the slow journey of Finn and Matt s journey with Johanna To follow up many ideas are simply tossed in and forgotten about in a mere chapter which is why the plot is very thin Although there are some minor relatable characters I had tr [...]
A timely story for Breast Cancer Awareness Month a very quick read you can finish in one or two sittings It s about an awkward, nerdy teen who is befriended by a 20 something college student battling breast cancer She enlists the boy to help her with various projects i.e planting a garden, fund raising for her cancer benefit run, etc The service he renders plus her friendship and the bits of wisdom she shares via notes she has the boy s dog deliver end up having a big impact on the boy I loaned [...]
I gave this book 4 stars because it has real life situations Notes from the dog is about a boy names Finn He is on summer break and plans to do nothing but read and talk to as little people as possible A girl moves in to a house next to his and her name is Johanna, she has cancer and has been fighting it Johanna is really nice it Finn and makes him feel like he actually matters Finn and his friend Matthew start hanging out with Johanna and Johanna wants Finn to make a garden in Finns backyard I [...]
I really like this book because it shows that you shouldn t give up when things get rough or difficult An example would be of Johanna she had cancer but, she was strong I also like that that Finn and Matthew found out that they loved Johanna because she listens and cares for them to just as much as they care for her There are always will be people that won t accept you, but there is going to be some ups and downs, but you shouldn t care what others think of you it s just your opinion I absolutel [...]
I thought that it was a great, but the only disappointment was that there was only 5 notes It was a slower read, but it sped up right at the end The best part was SPOILER ALERT when Matt and Finn ran the triathlon for Johanna who has cancer No spoiler Other than that one tweak of only 5 notes it would have been a five star rating The plot leading up to the end you wouldn t have guessed the end This was one of the book that was a easy read, but also had a plot twist at the end Johanna who is one [...]
Finn is a very shy middle school boy who was looking forward to a summer of reading, and avoiding people Johanna moves in next door and motivates him to get outside and socialize Johanna is almost too good to be true, like an awesome fairy godmother except with cancer It s a sweet story about being confident while being yourself, and how much of a difference you can make on someone s life.This would be a good book for kids who are too young for The Fault in Our Stars BL 4.7 AR Pts 4.0
