Reseñas de la Crítica

“It's a robust story, almost incredible...This is the stuff of folklore at its authentic best.” (The New York Times Book Review)

"Warrants a place on any shelf of Western Americana.” (San Francisco Chronicle)

good book

good story narrator could have been better,tried to sound moutain,came off sounding mentally challenged,made Johnson sound like and oaf more than dangerous no matter what the material related. The story however was awesome

FANTASTIC BOOK

This is by far my most favorite book of all time. The humor and fierceness and strong character development and storytelling just brought this tale to life! this is a must read for almost anyone I'd say.

The Movie had nothing on this

I'm a huge fan of Robert Redford's Jeremiah Johnson, but I have to admit that it's a distant second to this book. Understandably, you can't cram everything into a movie that you find in the book, but having an accurate account of the life of the legendary mountain man portrayed by the narrator is extremely satisfying to one who is hungry to learn as much as he can about Johnson. It was also interesting to see that DelQue was much of the book's support. There was much more to comment on, but I also want to give a huge note of gratitude to the narrator's performance...superb to say the least!.

Narrator

Narrator was a bit too slow. I listened at 1.25x speed which made it better but the sentences don’t always flow together that way. I would recommend reading the actual book, not necessarily listening to the audiobook.

great!!!

loved it. great American frontiersman. they need to remake the movie. the true story is much more interesting.
