Historia
England, 1346: For Thomas Blackstone, the choice is easy - dance on the end of a rope for a murder he did not commit, or take up his war bow and join the king's invasion. As he fights his way across northern France, Blackstone learns the brutal lessons of war - from the terror and confusion of his first taste of combat, to the savage realities of siege warfare.

Glorified violence and not much else.
Revisado: 02-19-25
At first I thought it was going to be good, but then it just turned into an endless overblown glorification of war. There was only the slightest thread of story. No thanks.

Not my favorite Feist
Revisado: 01-24-25
There’s a balance between battle, politics, and the deeper story that makes some stories great. This one doesn’t have it for me.
Maybe it’s just my current state of mind, but I found this book tedious and lacking a certain depth.

Historia
Otherwise known as the “Roma” or by their popular misnomer “the gypsies”, the members of this highly undervalued and grossly misrepresented community have long been considered outcasts. More often than not, the Romani are branded by even those who fancy themselves liberals as “pikeys”, “gyppos”, and “gips”. There's also a regrettably common term “gypped” meaning “to cheat, or swindle” which perpetuates the damaging stereotype that the Roma are dishonest nuisances and societal pests.

This book was short and did not delve too deeply, but was surprisingly thorough. It is an excellent starting point. I hope that it helps to educate people.

It’s a well written, well rounded story. A good break from much of what comes down the pipeline these days.

I usually like McMurtry, but I didn’t love this one. I would have finished it anyway, but several hours in the audio turned super muddy.

Historia
In September 1960, John Steinbeck and his poodle, Charley, embarked on a journey across America, from small towns to growing cities to glorious wilderness oases. Travels with Charley is animated by Steinbeck’s attention to the specific details of the natural world and his sense of how the lives of people are intimately connected to the rhythms of nature—to weather, geography, the cycles of the seasons. His keen ear for the transactions among people is evident, too, as he records the interests and obsessions that preoccupy the Americans he encounters along the way.

Historia
The Brave Cowboy is a classic of modern Western literature. It follows Jack Burns, a loner at odds with modern civilization. He rides a feisty chestnut mare across the New West—a once beautiful land now smothered beneath airstrips and superhighways. An "anarchist cowboy," he lives by a personal code of ethics that sets him on a collision course with the keepers of law and order. After a prison breakout plan goes awry, he finds himself and his horse, Whisky, pursued across the desert towards the mountains that lead to Mexico, and to freedom.

I used to love Abbey
Revisado: 06-09-24
My taste must have changed. I just find most of the Abbey audiobooks irritating. Hmm, well I used to love most everything he wrote, maybe you will too. Just make sure to follow leave no trace ethics in the outdoors and don’t bury your trash under a rock;-)

A good story squeezed between love scenes.
Revisado: 03-28-24
I enjoyed the story, and got a kick out of the reference to Outlander, which this story takes a cue from. I enjoyed the link with Last Of The Mohicans as well. However, I could have done with a little more story and less sex.

Historia
In the late 1930s, 16-year-old Billy Parham captures a she-wolf that has been marauding his family's ranch. But instead of killing it, he decides to take it back to the mountains of Mexico. With that crossing he begins an arduous and often dreamlike journey into a country where men meet ghosts and violence strikes as suddenly as heat lightning - a world where there is no order "save that which death has put there".

This story had just enough to keep me listening, but barely. I imagine many listeners will enjoy it more than I as I am hard to please.
