Unabridged Audiobook
A slow-burn that I didn’t expect but quite enjoyed. There’s probably a lot of nuances I didn’t notice since I started listening to the book looking for the movie in it, but I loved the tension and toughness that came from mundane and seemingly casual gestures. A really enraging and scary good time.
A wonderful book with a great movie adaptation
We listened to this book because it was selected by our book club. We had previously seen the movie. I enjoyed the book but my wife did not care for it. I enjoyed the story of life on the ranch and in the town. I understand many feel this novel is a must for any library of western novels. I would not go that far, but I did enjoy the depiction of life in that environment. The story is so much more than what is shown in the movie. The reader may feel differently about the characters, as well. I thought the narrator did an especially good portrayal of Phil.
