Dances with Wolves

By: Michael Blake

Narrated by: George Guidall

Ordered to hold an abandoned army post, John Dunbar found himself alone, beyond the edge of civilization. Thievery and survival soon forced him into the Indian camp, where he began a dangerous adventure that changed his life forever.

Set in 1863, the novel follows Lieutenant John Dunbar on a magical journey from the ravages of the Civil War to the far reaches of the imperiled American frontier, a frontier he naively wants to see "before it is gone".

great story! great narration!

haven't seen this movie about 50 times in my life I finally got around to reading the book. I was not disappointed! The book is even better than the movie, as this so often the case. and the narration by George godell is fantastic!

Great book / great movie / great performance

I saw Dances with Wolves with Kevin Costner as a teenager when it first came out and was moved by how powerful the story was for similar movies at that time - not to mention the longest movie (3 hours) I'd ever seen. I never read the book until a few weeks ago when it popped up on Audible due to my being a fan of the reader, George Guidall. The book is as good as the movie - and the movie follows the book very, very closely. Between Michael Blake's description of American in the 1800's and performance by George Guidall - it's one of my favorite books this year.

And I had no idea there was a sequel - I'll start that one ASAP!

Balance with nature lifestyle. Heartwarming story of redemption, love, and finding peace.

Propagates the lie of the peaceful indians of the old west. The Commanche were savage and brutal to all people not of thier tribe. Torturing captives to death as well as gangang rape and infanticide were commonplace.

Classic story of a bygone era

Having seen this favored movie many times, I was pleased to have the story read to me by a narrator who did it justice.

A PURE JEWEL

Outstanding in every way! A must listen for everyone with a heart. Beautifully narrated. I finished it in 2 wonderful days, and will do it again.
