Horse Hunts

Gary J George is insightful and a joy to read. He has a love place that is reflected in his description of the land and the people who live there.

Good story history and local lore

Artificial intelligence voice had no passion really boring . The story was engaging enough to keep me listening

I Am now familiar with the characters and enjoy them and story.

Like characters, their integrity, simplicity of their lives, their friendships and respect for ech other.

Mojave Desert inspired

Enjoyed the magical desert context. Historical context was helpful and interesting. Just desserts in the desert!

Short but sweet

A short investigation story that kept my interest but I am not a fan of these AI readers.

Virtual Voice is not good

The story was interesting and contained a lot of interesting background. However the virual voice was very poor when compared to a human reading. There were no pauses between words or phrases as a normal human reading would have and there was no human emotion reflected in the reading. I barely got thru the 2 hour reading. No way would I have been able to listen to 6 plus hours.
