Bound to Rise (Or, Up the Ladder)

De: Horatio Alger

Narrado por: MacLeod Andrews

An inspirational story about how individual traits and efforts help one to rise and progress. It is the story that eloquently compares and contrasts between two characters, their attitudes, efforts and consequently their success and failure. The book remains an inspiration for those who are ready to put in efforts and move ahead in life.Public Domain (P)2010 Audible, Inc.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Narrator Macleod Andrews gives a terrific performance, creating unique voices for the book’s central characters. The multiple personalities Andrews employs provide a sense of realism and optimism, which complement a story wholly consistent with Alger’s message that hard work can mean the difference between success and failure. While designed for teens and juveniles, Alger’s work continues to have universal appeal, making this book appropriate for listeners of all ages." ( AudioFile)

Loved it!!!

This is my first book using audible and what a book to start with. Horatio is indeed a great writer and proves it again here. The scenes are so beautifully captured that we just see them unfolding in front of my eyes. The narrator was too good. Cant wait to read the next volume.

Heartwarming

Great positive story with historical setting. I highly recommend it to young and old alike.

I see why Hunter S Thompson hated this guy

This inane tale of a boy spending six months wandering around Massachusetts trying to buy a cow and getting robbed and bailed out several times.

Alger was popular in Pre-Depression America, but the cynicism of our century has caused this tale of sticktoitiveness boring at best, and damaging to children who might read it at worst.
