The Red Pony

De: John Steinbeck

Narrado por: Frank Muller

John Steinbeck's masterpiece celebrates the spirit and courage of adolescence. Steinbeck draws on his memories of childhood in these stories about a boy who embodies both the rebellious spirit and the contradictory desire for acceptance of early adolescence. Unlike most coming-of-age stories, the cycle does not end with a hero "matured" by circumstances. Reversing common interpretations, The Red Pony is imbued with a sense of loss. Jody's encounters with birth and death express a common theme in Steinbeck's fiction: They are parts of the ongoing process of life, resolving nothing.

Hand in Hand

Where does The Red Pony rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It is among the best in terms of quality, but I've yet to find a bad one yet among the Audible collection.

What did you like best about this story?

The Red Pony is like no other story because each episode can be treated in isolation; however, they are interrelated as well.

What about Frank Muller’s performance did you like?

His voice has now become synonymous with the story itself. I can't think of listening to anyone else. He treats the narration and the characters as separate entities, as good readers should; however, he gives each character a personality I've never seen in other Audible books.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I have listened to it in one setting, in part because the book allows for it. But the reading is great enough to pull you in once you begin.

Good read for 12 yr old

The story was exciting and sad. It was very descriptive and dramatic. The story described the Salinas area accurately and I was able to picture the setting.

It’s boing!

What is not to love here?

One of the greatest stories ever told read by Frank Muller? This is a special treat indeed.
