    "another great one!"
    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Dark Horse?

    It would spoil the ending to answer that.


    Have you listened to any of George Guidall’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    I have only heard George read the Walt Longmire stories by Craig Johnson. His reading is perfect for this book. He has clear voices for all the characters and is very easy to listen to.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes. I almost did being in the car all day on a road trip. Wonderful.


    Any additional comments?

    i have enjoyed all of these books by Craig Johnson. They are all wonderful. Each one is exciting and surprising. the last hour of this recording has a chat between Craig Johnson and George Guidall. This conversation was so enlightening. A wonderful treat.

    Story
    "We meet a great horse"

    This book seems like something a writer needed to try and as a whole it worked. It should not be the first book tried in this series because the writer's interest is complicated and though the story is strong and well made the path to it is not as easy as the other books.

    There is a great deal of ugliness done to people and animals in this book. The idea of telling stories seems to require this aspect of competition for reader choice. Johnson has kept the direct story telling in some kind of reform, but the horrific nature of the bad guy in this novel is not fun to understand. One can enjoy the experimental nature of the writing structure, the bad things, and the resolution in courage, friendship, and simple human skills. It is just not my favorite in the bunch.

    "A good story and an EXCELLENT reader!"
    What made the experience of listening to The Dark Horse the most enjoyable?

    George Guidall's voice was the perfect one for this story. If anyone ever sounded like an older sheriff out west, it is he. His performance had a very calming effect, and I enjoyed every minute of the book. I highly recommend it.


    What was one of the most memorable moments of The Dark Horse?

    Won't tell you - don't want to give anything away!!!


    What does George Guidall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    George brought a kind of "down-hominess" to the story.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Yes. I had it on my MP3 player, and it took me only 2 days to finish it. I love to listen while I'm working in the kitchen!

    I have had a library card wherever I've lived, & always have a book in progress. Fell in love with Audiobooks when my 70 yr old eyes couldn't keep up with my reading. Mysteries are my favorite, but last enjoyable read was "Fifty Shades of Grey" WOW Sensual reading, but it had my interest ! I'm not dead yet!

    "Another great read!!"

    Loved the latest adventure of Walt, Vic, & Henry Standing Bear. The characters become more endearing with each chapter. Cannot wait until Craig Johnson writes another Longmire mystery & George Guidall reads it "to life".

    Story
    "Very good, but..."
    If you could sum up The Dark Horse in three words, what would they be?

    Interesting but overdone. Johnson devotes too much of each book to the influence of the Native American spirit world on Walt Longmire, the non-Native American Sheriff.


    How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

    shift focus to the story and away from so much of the warrior spirits.


    Have you listened to any of George Guidall’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    Guidall is a consummate professional. Sometimes inflections of new characters are not as sharp as one might like, but generally can keep track of who is talking.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    Well, not moved, but the Hispanic character he handcuffed in the lodge was perfect comic relief.


    Any additional comments?

    Enjoyable stories, very well prerformed.

    "Never met a Walt Longmire I didn't like"

    I keep waiting for the next Craig Johnson listen. I can only say what I've said before. Johnson and Guidall are perfect partners, the characters are a hoot and I can't wait for them to weave in and out of the stories.

    Enjoyed the chat at the end between Guidall and Johnson. I enjoy these, as few as they are, since it paints an interesting picture of the author.

    "don't waste your time or money"
    Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

    No absolutely not...I can't make myself finish....


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    I'm browsing now?


    Would you listen to another book narrated by George Guidall?

    I expected that I would really like his narration but honestly the voice doesn't fit the character.


    If this book were a movie would you go see it?

    No


    Any additional comments?

    I plan on calling audible to request a refund.

    Story
    "Walt Rides Again"
    Would you listen to The Dark Horse again? Why?

    Yes. I loved the way the story moved back and forth so I got more background as I went. Saved me from having to remember too much between listening periods.


    Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

    I love good mysteries and have now added a new author to my must-read list. A good mix of characters is important to a story, and boy! did we have characters! It was interesting to me to note the difference between the characters from the television show and the characters in the book.


    What about George Guidall’s performance did you like?

    George Guidall's performances are always excellent. He's one of my favorite readers.


    Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

    I loved the interaction between Walt and the horse. He was so gentle with her and respected her spirit.


    Any additional comments?

    I can't wait to read more Walt Longmire stories!

    In the beginning of the book there is scene where Walt is looking at abridge when someone comes.
