BIG COUNTRY, VOL. IV Stories of Louis L'Amour

This collection of seven short stories begins with an informative biography of the author. Then, hang on to your earbuds—the first four stories take off with such rapid-fire narration that it’s easy to get left in the dust! Once adjusted to the swiftly moving plots, one can enjoy a multitude of characters. And then an unexpected and pleasant change of pace arrives in the last three stories, beautifully narrated with perfect timing that draws out the suspense of the gunfights and conveys the romance of the Wild West. The collection, while oddly assembled, is entertaining as a whole, showing that L’Amour’s writing can hold up to many narrative styles. M.M.G. © AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2011]
