Great narration for a predictable story...

Revisado: 05-02-24

I thought the narrators were excellent and the story was well written, if not original. I've read or listened to stories that ultimately resolved in the same way which made it a little predictable. Still, I really enjoyed it.

A story that needed to be told!

Revisado: 02-19-24

I love Kristen Hannah and have enjoyed many of her stories. This one was devastating. For anyone who can remember the headlines and protests that accompanied the Vietnam war this story will resonate. It is beautiful and sad and resilient and SO special. Five stars aren't enough!

My favorite, so far!

Revisado: 09-11-23

I've been a Longmire fan for years. I've liked some books better than others, naturally, but this is probably my favorite. George's narration was superb and the story reminded me why Craig Johnson is one of my all time favorite authors.

Walt Longmire isn't always perfect, doesn't have all the answers, but you can ALWAYS count on the integrity of this character to get him where he needs to be. Loved this book so much. Another 5 star winner for Mr. Johnson!

Surprise!

Revisado: 09-02-23

This story was full of surprises and twists. It was riveting. The narrator was excellent. The story was even better. I thought I had it all figured out and then surprise... another twist! I love it when a story is clever enough to surprise me. I highly recommend this one.

A heartbreaking and ultimately uplifting story

Revisado: 08-08-23

As a rural Appalachian Virginian I found the characters in this story very realistic. Demon's plight will break your heart again and again, just as his resilience will. A kid who's dealt a bad hand but with a good heart he keeps fighting for survival.

I don't usually like 1st person narratives but in this case it was perfect. Great narrator, excellent story, I enjoyed how Kingsolver paralleled her characters with Dickens' David Copperfield.

The tale is haunting. This one will stay with me for a long time and I will be buying the hardcover edition for my personal library.

Great story, excellent narrator

Revisado: 01-18-23

Listened because it included in my Audible membership. I've listened to Lisa Gardner books before, this one was superb. I highly recommend it. I will be listening to the next book in the series.

Cringe worthy!

Revisado: 08-22-22

I hated it. The writing itself and the narrator were both good, but the story was disgusting. The constant descriptions of child sexual abuse was more than I could take. I tried to get through it because this was a book club selection, but I couldn't do it! 😖🤮 Don't waste your credit!

A terrifyingly possible bit of "fiction"

Revisado: 09-08-21

I continue to be amazed and entertained (mixed with equal parts terror) by Jack Carr as an author. The protagonist of this series, James Reese, is flawed enough to be relatable while having integrity and principles enough to make him a great hero.

Ray Porter is a five-star narrator. I highly recommend this entire series (to date) and can't wait for the next book.

A great addition to a great series!

Revisado: 09-04-21

This series of thrillers is a must read! I have devoured each one of them, oddly enough, on the recommendation of another reader/listener who was equally disappointed with the new Stephen King book (politicized tripe!!).

if you're sick of hearing an author's political bias and just want a great story that keeps you engaged, from start to finish, read these books!

Jack Reese is terrific, if necessarily brutal, hero whom you can't help but admire. Jack Carr writes what he knows and he's a very good writer. Ray Porter's narration is excellent. He manages to give a distinctive voice to every character. These books are an all around pleasure to listen to and read.

Loved it! Wonderful.

Revisado: 10-08-20

Poignant, smart, beautiful. Craig Johnson is the master! I have loved this series from its beginning and I'm sad to see Walt getting to the final stages of his career, winding down as we all do. George Guidal is a wonderful narrator and perfect for this series.

Walt harkens back to a country that I remember, one with respect, loyalty, decency, and ethics. All things that made this country great. I feel his sense of frustration as technology seems to be moving things ahead too quickly to grasp and he's being forced to contemplate what he will do when he finally has to retire. What will we do without Walt Longmire? 😢

The only criticism I have of this particular Longmire story is there was an unanswered question regarding Lolo that just seemed to be dropped in there for no purpose and there was no resolution. Over the years I've come to love these characters like personal friends. I highly recommend this book for any fan of the series. Bravo Mr. Johnson, PLEASE don't stop writing these wonderful characters. There is still life and love left for all of them.
