excellent

a book everybody and every man should read and take notes because the old mans wisdom is timeless and true.

Simply wonderful

The terminology suits the time period and some may find those terms “offensive” but frankly they are all terms of endearment filled with symbolic respect and community. The heart beat of this story is beneficial to all who read it and can glean its message of the value and elegance of multigenerational conveyance of wisdom for living, thriving and simply wringing out the simple joys of life.

Classic

Wonderful philosophical and impressionistic portrait of American outdoor tradition. Great book for any boy or man who has learned to love nature.

Shared a lost way of living-shared the importance of family.

A period book that wraps the importance of teaching a child how to be an adult with the emphasis of the power of honesty , character and appreciation.

Surprisingly great!

If you spent any time with your grandfather in the outdoors, this book will stir something up. I listened at 1.25 speed, which I think was perfect. These are easy listening, fun stories that make you wish you could roll back the years to a simpler time.

A great listen

A great audio book that was well done. Some of the pronunciation of words was off but a great story to anyone who loves the outdoors

Must be listened to in context of time.

Heartwarming and loving relationship and adventure can be culturally offensive in not read remembering the in which it was lived.

A great narration for a wonderful story

The Old Man and the Boy is a book that has somehow become a family tradition. Growing up in North Carolina, it is fascinating to hear the history told through the characters. This book is more than hunting and fishing stories. It is about the impact a grandfather had on his grandson.

A literary and outdoor masterpiece!

I’ve always enjoyed his writing, but this is the first time I’ve read this book. What an absolutely wonderful account of a boy and his grandfather sharing the outdoors together and finding out what’s important in life and what the outdoors means to that.

Awesome

Anyone that grew up in the south and that loves hunting and fishing will absolutely love this book. Robert Ruark describes places, people and situations so vividly that he had to have been there at some point in his life. Tons of wisdom in this one!!
