LONELY ON THE MOUNTAIN

This novel continues the saga of the Sackett family of the hard-ridin', varmint-infested West, where author L'Amour has so successfully mined his literary gold. What brothers Orin and Tell Sackett are up to becomes difficult to say because they sound exactly alike. And David Straithairn, whose voice could be viewed as the aural embodiment of Big Sky Country, makes every sentence sound like every other sentence. It's impossible to stay focused on the story or to care about the outcome. Y.R. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/JUL 03]
