    Part-time environmentalist and philanthropist Ben and his ex-mercenary buddy Chon run an independent Laguna Beach–based marijuana operation, reaping significant profits from an established clientele. But they may have come up against something that they can't handle---the Mexican Baja Cartel wants in, and saying no is unacceptable. When they refuse to back down, the cartel kidnaps Ophelia, the boys' playmate and confidante.

    Story
    What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

    Characters that did not warrant being hunted by a murderous drug cartel. Three hours in I was beginning to side with the bad guys.


    Has Savages turned you off from other books in this genre?

    I will be more careful with the author since he has shown he can go from absolutely excellent works, to something like this.


    What do you think the narrator could have done better?

    With the material, he did the best he could. His narration was what kept me listening as long as I did.


    If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Savages?

    I would have handed it back to Mr. Winslow, and reminded him of the bar he set with The Power of the Dog, and The Winter of Frankie Machine.
