Historia
Part epic of Texas, part classic coming-of-age story, part unflinching examination of the bloody price of power, The Son is a gripping and utterly transporting novel that maps the legacy of violence in the American west with rare emotional acuity, even as it presents an intimate portrait of one family across two centuries. Eli McCullough is just twelve-years-old when a marauding band of Comanche storm his Texas homestead and brutally murder his mother and sister, taking him as a captive.

For me a DUD
Revisado: 08-15-13
Is there anything you would change about this book?
I found the characters unpleasant, mean, and definitely not people that I wanted to spend time with. I spent about 25 chapters with them and then thought I'm not enjoying this at all. I don't care what happens to any of them and have no desire to continue listening to find out.
What could Philipp Meyer have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Have characters with some redeeming qualities. Some hopeful, or inspirational events. Characters that one could identify with and actually admire and like. Not all of them but at least something positive going on that would keep one interested and want to know what is going to happen next. I did find it hard to believe that 1851 Comanches said 'okay'
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
They did a good job but could not, for me, overcome the material.
Could you see The Son being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
Possibly
