A Compelling Journey Through Modern Appalachia

Revisado: 01-18-25

I couldn't stop listening to this audiobook. Wes Browne's "They All Fall the Same" drops you right into the heart of Appalachian Kentucky with a story about two small-town drug dealers that feels incredibly real. What grabbed me most was how perfectly Browne captures the way people in this region think and talk - I found myself nodding along and finishing characters' sentences because the whole book rang so true. The narrator does a great job with the regional dialect and speech patterns, making the characters feel even more authentic.

Even though it's about some unforgivable drug dealers, I didn’t feel like it was a typical crime story. Browne has a way of making you understand and even sympathize with characters you never thought you would. If you've read Faulkner's Snopes stories, this feels like their modern-day Appalachian cousin - same deep understanding of how place shapes people, but set in today's world with today's problems.

The story keeps you hooked while never losing touch with what makes this tragically beautiful corner of Kentucky feel so authentic. If you're looking for a great listen that takes you deep into a world that feels completely lived-in and real, grab this one. It's a reminder that the best storytelling comes from really understanding a place and its people. More please!
