Inspired by a near-mythic event on the wild Florida frontier at the turn of the 20th century, Shadow Country re-imagines the legend of the inspired Everglades sugar planter and notorious outlaw E. J. Watson, who drives himself relentlessly toward his own violent end at the hands of neighbors who mostly admired him, in a killing that obsessed his favorite son.

audio mix frustratingly inconsistent
Revisado: 03-17-15
Any additional comments?
I liked the book but had to abandon it...the audio quality was too inconsistent.The voice intonations shifting from barely audible to sharply loud...too many times to count it actually hurt my ears.It was just too frustrating to keep messing about with the volume.

In small-town Maine, unhappily retired Howard Woods is shaken awake one morning by his wife, who confesses to a devastating affair. To the utter dismay of his family, Howard refuses to forgive her. Instead, he vows to travel to Pamplona, Spain, in the footsteps of Hemingway to join the annual running of the bulls. His life promptly descends into chaos. But how does a middle-aged homebody, who has never even done his own laundry, salvage his manhood and pride and learn how to rebuild his life on his own?

What made the experience of listening to Running the Bulls the most enjoyable?
This is a great character driven story set in a small town. It is a loving, comic, and intelligent portrayal of our struggle to find meaning in the totality of our lives. It is ultimately, a homage to life, courage, imperfection, and literature.
What other book might you compare Running the Bulls to and why?
It compares to the best of Richard Russo and Jonathan Franzen.
Which character – as performed by Stephen Mendel – was your favorite?
Stephen Mendel gave a warm and extraordinary performance.
