Superb epic
I was trepidatious about starting my first long book but so glad I did. Epic, poignant, beautiful, funny, frightening, I could go on. You feel as though you are there. The reader is absolutely amazing with the multiple voices and distinguishing them plus adding different moods and phases in their life, masterful narration and acting. You can tell each one as he reads. Riveting despite the length. Simply the best Western story of a different era that was changing as they lived it.

people are hot and fiery
people are a bit hot and fiery, but the author painted it realistically. but is comedy very hard to write or maybe it doesn't really exist to be written about.. although Roald Dahl can capture comedy so i do believe it does exist lol

Every dimension of the novel is brilliantly written, narrative, characters, landscape, dialogue, pace action, humour, pathos...

Brilliant but...
I nearly abandoned this book in favour of a print version. The narrator started off at such a gallop it was hard to follow.The volume needs pushing up because the whole book is a little quieter than usual. Except for Gus... anytime he speaks, he shouts. So it was uncomfortable trying to hear one minute and having my ears blown off the next. But I got into it and I'm glad I stuck with it. The narrator settled into a better pace and really brought the characters to life. Its a wonderful book and really paints a vivid picture of the gritty living and harsh realities of the first settlers and to an extent the native Indians. Enjoy!

Excellent!
I definitely recommend listening to this book. Beautifully narrated. Sad the narrator didn’t do all Larry McMurtries books.

An epic western story!
A story of two famous former texas rangers, taking a herd across the American west.
A multitude of characters mesh to form a perfect backdrop for an epic story.
Lee Horsley's narration is faultless.
Highly recommended.
