Great book. But I wish it would not have ended so abruptly

Great listen! I love the down home feel. It seemed like a simpler time, but shows the actual struggles. We tend to see things "flat". This story shows it with a "tilt".

Normal good writing by John G, just not the most riveting book I have read of Grisham’s But a enjoyable escape to a different world.

Based on how enjoyable his movies can be i am surprised how dull and boring this book turned out to be. Ir is unfortunate that this was my first book by him because now I am hesitant to read others by him.

John Grisham had a very unusually vivid memory of his youth!

I was sad when the book ended. I wanted to hear more of young Luke's life in the north.

As a departure from Grisham's usual fare, I thought this was good. It was a slow walk in rural Arkansas in the 1950's, through the eyes of a 7 year old. There was plenty of variety, even for slow-action. I felt like I got a bird's eye view into life on the farm and in the country, with an appreciation of how things "worked". I agree with the reader who said the ending was a bit anti-climatic, but I was engaged completely until then. The narration was very good, nice change up of voices.
