![Two for Texas | [James Lee Burke]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51gWm7qSjuL._SL175_.jpg)
"Wow"
Would you listen to Two for Texas again? Why?Yes - JLB always stands up to multiple readings. The plot, characters, narrative voice, humour, and depth of emotion in this story make it a very rewarding experience
What was one of the most memorable moments of Two for Texas?Anytime Hugh is knocking around. Or Deaf. Will Patton's delivery is brilliant, particularly for these two characters.
Which character – as performed by Will Patton – was your favorite?Hugh or Deaf!
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?Oftentimes both!
Any additional comments?Nobody should ever be permitted to read James Lee Burke other than Will Patton. I'm addicted.

![Train Dreams and Jesus' Son | [Denis Johnson]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51uT41r1qkL._SL175_.jpg)
"Surprisingly Brilliant"
Would you listen to Train Dreams and Jesus' Son again? Why?Yes - certainly Train Dreams. The story affects you long after you stop listening. The writer has a very delicate touch, never descending to sentimentality or mawkishness.
Who was your favorite character and why?Granier; a simple man's interaction with the world told with such dignity and pathos. Some scenes, like the fire, or the worlf girl, really affected me.
Have you listened to any of Will Patton’s other performances before? How does this one compare?I listen to a lot of Will Patton's work, mainly because I am addicted to his readings of James Lee Burke's novels. He is always brilliant. The cadence and tonality in his voice here is quite different to the JLB material. Granier's story is told with a breathy tenderness that I just loved. On foot of getting addicted to his readings of JLB's work, I have seen a lot of Patton's film work and he has extraordinary range and nuance, which clearly spills over to his readings.
