Resumen del Editor

Unbroke Horses, winner of the Triple Crown of Western literature awards: Western Heritage Wrangler Award, Will Rogers Medallion Award, and the Western Fictioneers Peacemaker Award. It also won the Laramie Award, and the Eric Hoffer Award for literature, and was a finalist for the daVinci Eye Award for cover design.

An innocent 14-year-old preacher's son is kidnapped by three vile Civil War deserters. When turning-the-other-cheek fails to deter their cruelty, the boy resorts to his own violent behavior for survival, and the retribution he exacts from them casts him in a new struggle, this time for his soul. His redemption comes down to the wisdom of an old man and a small band of Unbroke Horses.

Riveting story but quite violent.

The story will hold your attention. It’s violence is startling at times but the heart-warming nature of the story makes up for it. The narration of the female voices by a male are a little weird.

hidden gem

somehow came across this hidden gem,, definitely worth sticking out. narrator gets off to a rough start but found his groove eventually. had no clue where the story was going but it all came together with the horses the last portion.

Very good

Good narration, Except a little gory, the end saves it. I would recommend it for sure

A Rich and Inspiring coming of age story

This book contains characters, including a horse, that are well written into a story where each are important to the coming of age of a torchured 14 year old. Although dark, this book has inspiration like no other.

for horse people and non horse people alike

The narrator was perfect.
I never wanted to stop listening.
Evoked a full array of emotions

Great story!

Would definitely look for more from this author! Great story that was thrilling to listen too.

Well done

the beginning was a little violent but it sets up the story. Audio book was well acted

Way worth it

Raw and profound at times..great story and characters..I previously read Small Moving parts…My husband and I listened via Audible and we were really touched by the book and still discuss it..Terrific writer

Great story

Great story with a great narrative. I like all the books from D.B. Jackson that I've read.

Underdeveloped characters

I was a bit disappointed in this book for the first 80 percent, but the final part was pretty good. I'd like to give the book 2.5 stars, but I don't have that option.

Allow me to to expand on this. I found that the book jumped in with some ex-Confederate soldiers who just start murdering people in the most violent of manner. They meet up with a 3rd character who joins the group. The problem is, there's no real background to these characters, and they felt very one-dimensional. They had potential to have some great backstories, but the author missed his chance.

The protagonist had a bit more background, but again, not enough to really draw you in. In the last few chapters, and this is where it got better, the story focused on the healing of the young victim through his work with horses. This part of the story stood out, and it's because much more depth was given to the characters for the final bit.

The narration was solid, but nothing spectacular. Bob Rundell did some characters well, and others not-so-well. His cadence was bit slow, but that's in keeping with the western "slow drawl" style.

In the end, I can recommend this book if you're a Louis L'Amour fan or of the genre itself. For those looking for a more in depth cast of characters, such as in "All the Pretty Horses", then you may want to pass.
