It’s charming and easy to understand. There’s no puzzle to solve, no stream of consciousness. Just a sweet story of innocence, youth and the sometimes bittersweet journey into experience.
What a gem!

This is the story of an ill-advised road trip in a car that was borrowed/stolen. It is charmingly told by only one narrator: Grandfather, who is relating a story from his childhood adventure to his grandchildren.
When he was only ten, in 1905, he went on a trip from his home in Jefferson, Mississippi, to Memphis, Tennessee. A man in his grandfather's employ (Boon) is determined to convince a prostitute he visits semi-regularly to leave the whore house and marry him. To do that they take the boy's grandfather's brand new Winton Flyer. Along the way, the boy spends the night in the whore house, is part of a knife fight, loses the car after it is gambled away by one of his traveling companions, is forced to participate in a horse race in an attempt to win the money to buy back the car. Even the horse is stolen. This journey goes from bad to worse, all of the events are completely unbelievable and yet as the reader you believe it all.
There are moments that made me think Huck Finn, which was apparently one of Faulkner's aspirations. But I could also see the more tragic Tobacco Road on its pages. This one was a much easier read than the others I have read. It didn't seem like I was working to find the meaning as it did with others. But, I still found it to be a deserved winner of the Pulitzer Prize. This one is also more accessible. If I were to recommend Faulkner to someone who wasn't a reader of the classics, I would probably suggest starting here.
a charmingly told story of human folly

Where does The Reivers rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I had read the book long time ago and I have liked it. So, it was up to the reader this time not to disappoint me. And he did not.What does John H. Mayer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Excellent reader. He made in my head all the wonders a good book makes to the reader plus the voices.Any additional comments?
I hope I will return to this book some day. I have about dozen books in this category.I have enjoyed it very, very much
