Engaging and entertaining

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

This book is an interesting interpretation of the Western genre, set in Oregon and California during the gold rush. I found the story compelling and the reader really gave the characters depth.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Eli, the narrator. He was sympathetic while being flawed.

What about William Hope???s performance did you like?

He did a wonderful job of interpreting the different characters through nuances of speech.
