Very entertaining audio!
Reviewed: 02-23-16
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I would definitely recommend this audiobook as an entertaining listen that moves along at a great pace with likable characters, just enough twists and turns, and a solid faith element threaded throughout.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Calista is a spirited heroine whose good heart has more than just superficial levels. I believed her motivation and actions, and was cheering her on throughout!
What does Forrest Leder and Tristan Leder bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I enjoyed Forrest and Tristan Leder's performances, and they handled the alternating voices very naturally.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This book has a gentle, flowing voice to it that made me smile quite often.
Any additional comments?
The setting (Montana) and time period (late 19th century) were especially well-handled, and I could "see" the scenes vividly.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
