Reseñas de la Crítica

"The music is evocative of classic 1940s film scores, and the lush and detailed sounds of rushing streams and ever-present jungle critters practically surround the listener. Seasoned professionals abound in the cast, making this a fine adventure." (AudioFile)

A L'Amour Adventure at its Best

Many people know the name Louis L'Amour, but many don't know of his works outside of his westerns. While his westerns make up the bulk of his work, and are phenomenal, he wrote many other genres, including crime and adventure. If you enjoyed this production, and I don't know how you could not have, I implore you to delve further down the rabbit hole of his works. You will not be disappointed.

Please release more! Excellent book!

Highly recommended audiobook . I hope that they continue to release new books. Defiantly worth adding to your Louis Lamour collection!

More audio dramas

Great way to make a short story better, wish they would make more of these faster. I got a lot of Louis L’Amour stories in my library, but the dramas are some of my favorites.Even when some of the narration only books are better stories. This one is worth purchasing, it’s simple and pulpy but classic L’Amour the actors and sound effects are top notch and can be listened to multiple times without losing interest.

first rate

Top notch performances and effects. Nobody does it better then Louis Lamour. We're glad to see them still producing these. More please!

A meticulous recreation of L'Amour's tale...

This audio version of the diamond of jeru is my favorite, over the movie and short story. Reinforced by sound effects, dialect appreciation, and great performances, the story comes alive in your mind as Mike Kardec seeks his own redemption through misadventure and self awareness. A delight to listen to and highly recommended!

Awesome!!!!!

This book is awesome, must read or in this case listen!!! I would strongly recommend it!!

Not worth a credit!!

Not his best work, it was not worth the credit. I love the author but The Diamond of Jeru was a terrible disappointment.

One of the worst books I've listened to.

I love Louis L'AMOUR books but this one was terrible the only one I've listened to or read for that matter I didn't like. avoid this one! it's hard to follow and it's all over the place.
