I purchased this audio CD to listen to in the car during a long road trip. It's been a few years since I've read Louis L'Amour books, but these well done stories brought his books vividly back to mind for me. The sound effects and character voices were top notch, and I enjoyed every minute of this CD.For anyone who enjoys Westerns and especially Louis L'Amour's books, I recommend this audio recording.
The title pretty much says it all. The only negative is that the country-western singer who does much of the narration was selected to sound like a old man in the West telling stories. Although he did well in that job, I'd have preferred he try to sound like he's not part of the story. Some narrators have the skill of not appearing in the story except as we become momentarily conscious of their skills, and this results in a smoother flow of the listener's fantasy.
I sent this as a gift to a very dear person that recently lost her sight due to a stroke. She enjoyed the stories immensely and even liked the fact that these are short stories you can listen to one at a time in bouts of 45 minutes or so. I plan on getting her more.
This book on cd was purchased as a gift for my grandfather. L'Amour is his favorite western writer. He has just about every one of his novels. His sight isn't as good as it use to be so this made the perfect gift. He can still enjoy his westerns.
Louis L'Amour is a great writer. Love his stories, were very interesting, and quite lived up to the reputation of L'Amour. Enjoyed the stories very much,
When we travel, we listen to books-we like all types.My husband especially enjoys Louis Lamour. These stories are well read and entertaining.Thank you for having them available.
I bought this audio book for my father who is blind. He loved listening to these stories because of the descriptive language and because the stories are not too long.
Good stories. Well presented and a pleasure to listen to anywhere. Hope there will be more come available. Looking for more audio books about the Sacketts.
