"Giddy Up Go!"
In this collection of stories I saw a side of elmore I had not known was there. He really "cowboys up" and tells real seeming stories about real seeming folks.His farmers and cowboys talk and look just like cowboys and farmers-not choirboys!

"More from Elmore"
What made the experience of listening to The Complete Western Stories of Elmore Leonard the most enjoyable?Just got into Elmore Leonard's works a few months ago. So far I've fully enjoyed everything he's written. I didn't realize how many stories he's written that have been made into very good movies. Love the way he sets a scene but even more I enjoy the dialog between characters.
Who was your favorite character and why?Too hard to pick just one.
Have you listened to any of the narrators’s other performances before? How does this one compare?Yes. Always does a very good job.
Who was the most memorable character of The Complete Western Stories of Elmore Leonard and why?Again, too difficult to pick just one.

"Great, but not the "complete" western stories"
What made the experience of listening to The Complete Western Stories of Elmore Leonard the most enjoyable?The stories were all so good! The narrators were excellent. I'd read many Leonard novels, but never his western ones and never any of his short stories.
What did you like best about this story?Leonard's quality as a writer, bringing detail to the portraits of the times, the place, the artifacts and, especially, the interactions among whites, blacks, Apaches, and Mexicans. He doesn't stint in showing the racism, prejudice and injustice of the Southwest in the 1880s and '90s.
Which character – as performed by the narrators – was your favorite?I can't say because there were so many vivid characters.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?I just wished that some of the stories were longer or that there were more of them.
Any additional comments?This audiobook is a SELECTION of 11 stories from the paper book that contains 30 stories. The stories themselves are unabridged, but the "complete" collection is not here. I wish they were. Moreover, the stories selected are presented out of the order they appear in the book, which is strictly chronological in order of publication, from 1951 to 1994. I wonder why this was done. I'm not blaming Audible for either of these issues.

"Perfect western story telling as always."
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?Everything in one book. If you love 3:10 to Yuma.....get this book.
Every story has different narrators .....keeping it fresh and exciting.
great value too.
Would you be willing to try another book from Elmore Leonard? Why or why not?Love this author for many years now.
