Historia
Two lonely towns in Colorado: Hope and Despair. Between them, 12 miles of empty road. Jack Reacher never turns back. It's not in his nature. All he wants is a cup of coffee. What he gets is big trouble. So in Lee Child’s electrifying new novel, Reacher - a man with no fear, no illusions, and nothing to lose - goes to war against a town that not only wants him gone, it wants him dead. It wasn’t the welcome Reacher expected. He was just passing through, minding his own business. But within minutes of his arrival a deputy is in the hospital and Reacher is back in Hope.

What stood out the most is the author’s opinion on religion.
Revisado: 04-29-25
I have all of the Jack Reacher books, but this one displays the author’s biased opinion on any religion. Any one person in any one belief system can be a bad apple, but it seems all religion gets a bad broad swipe in this story. On a positive note, Reacher is still Reacher and uses his brain as well of brawn to conclude the story.

Andy Serkis did a perfect job narrating this book and who could have done better than the movie's voice of Gollum himself?!!

Tolkien cannot be topped for the story and Andy Serkis added so much passion into the reading.

Historia
In this memoir of a lost America, Hal Borland tells the story of his family's migration to eastern Colorado as homesteaders at the turn of the twentieth century. On an unsettled and unwelcoming prairie landscape, the Borlands build a house, plant crops, and eke out a meager existence. While life is difficult—and self-reliance is necessary with no neighbors for miles—the experience brings the family close and binds them closer to the terrible and beautiful natural patterns that govern their lives.

Surviving in your grandfather’s era
Revisado: 01-10-25
This story is the thought-process of a growing boy and his responsibilities while growing into being an adult at a young age. Being in a place without having the “modern” conveniences of the early 1900s meant doing things with only the late 1800’s technology. The author was able to convey the thoughts of a young man without sounding as if his family was impoverished, although they had to scrape to get by.
I have been looking for “High Wide and Lonesome” as an audio book for several years. I did a book report on it in grade school in the 1960s and it made enough of an impression that I have remembered the title and author through the years. To my surprise the audio book came out in 2024 and I was surprised to find it.
The story doesn’t have a plot, other than a autobiography of Hal Borland’s memories of moving to the plains country as a boy and describing what it was like to be set back in time to build and survive in a homesteaders cabin with his parents. He touches on the dramas of everyday life and how they held on.
The narrator’s voice didn’t appeal to me at first, but was better than many other narratives I have heard. Soon the narrator seemed to have become the very voice of Hal Borland reminiscing about his young life and he held my interest until the end.
And now, after all these many years, it seems good to be able to do another book report on “High Wide and Lonesome”.
