"This is the All Iowa reads book. I enjoyed it - seemed well written - not always quite believable, but an interesting tale of a 10-year-old girl - the multi-racial boy visiting his grandmother, and an artist suffering from AIDS who comes home to stay with his sister. Lots of very interesting characters in the book."
"This book was just really boring. I suppose it was well written, but nothing really happened. Perhaps if I had kids I would have been more interested because the protagonist was a 10-year-old, but this was not for me."
"Another winner from Carrie Brown. A motherless 10-year-old girl whose family has largely sheltered her from the world has her world opened up by a 10-year-old mixed race boy who spends the summer with her family & by a neighbor who's dying of AIDS. It starts very slowly & never really has much action, but Brown again creates rich interior & relational lives for characters who are genuinely admirable people, something of a rarety in contemporary literary fiction."
"this Book is a little slow ,if you can imagine it has abittoo much detail, but i loved the story. The Rope Walk tells of Alice who has an increble summer. she finds friendship,adventure and, happiness and tragedy in a gift she gives. I felt like i could be friends with the character and at times identified with her, and her naivete."
