I knew of Jack London but never read his material except that required in school and I can't recall anything specific from that. I decided to get this audio collection of short stories by Jack London to sample his work as a mature adult with life experiences behind me. I throughly enjoyed this short story collection. I'm not sure if I would have been able to enjoy the deeper meanings within the stories at a younger age because Jack London speaks on two levels. The narrator was excellent! His deep masculine and resonant voice embodied the characters and rugged environment in which they lived.

The reviews I read were highly overrated this marginal piece of fiction. I got the audio because of the reviews. The truth is the story is not only boring but not even reasonably credible if you've been associated with the military or NASA. The language and vulgarity is a little over the top and adds nothing to the story. The fact story got excellent says much about our society as a whole.

I was disappointed not only by the reviews but the performance. I actually like story of the prodigal son and was expecting a masterpiece no pun intended. The reviews usually very reliable didn't filter out this mediocre book . Oftentimes the material was repetitious covering the same point over and over again at only slightly different angles. Absolutely too much emphasis was placed on the hands in attempt to covey more than was really there. It did have me studying the painting but that wasn't enough to convince me that what was seen by this author is what the artist intended to portray. Finally, Nouwen spent too much time on his going ons. I was beginning to think this was an autobiography; where is the story of The Prodigal Son? I liked the novel idea presented here about one person being all three persons: prodigal son, father and brother at various stages of life and the personal examples used by Nouwen in his own life in dealing the various stages. The performance was also below par with the monotonous tone of the speaker often putting me to sleep. There are some good things to take away but overall I would rate this book average. A good book is something that you will take up again to seek gold nuggets you might have missed. For me, that won't happen with this book.
