Publisher's summary

It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak.

But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission.

The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?

Oregon is an emotionally charged new Audible Original short thriller from Audie Award-winning and internationally best-selling author Don Winslow. Masterfully performed by four-time Academy Award nominee Ed Harris, it delivers an audio experience that will stay with you long after it’s over. Listen now.

Another excellent short Winslow/Ed Harris collab

There are several Don Winslow short stories read by Ed Harris on Audible, he is a really good narrator and perfect for them. This story draws you in and keeps your interest. It could have gone on a bit longer to be more satisfying in the finale, but is still excellent.

This really hit home.

I joined the USMC on my 17 birthday in December 1971. I vividly remember that time period. I can't express how much this audio book has affected me. Tears, sorrow, and an overwhelming feeling of the loss of my childhood. If you don't get it that's okay. Maybe you are too young to understand the mood of the country at this time. Hopefully you and your children will never have to experience anything like this.

Depressing story

A short and depressing story about small town life in the 1970s for teenagers. The performance was good and the writing was okay but the author needs to find another way to say “he said” came out as repetitive.

The story to nowhere....

The narration was superb...the story, not so much. It just never developed into anything, just spun and spun and spun....
