Warlock

De: Oakley Hall, Robert Stone

Narrado por: Patrick Lawlor

Oakley Hall's legendary Warlock revisits and reworks the traditional conventions of the Western to present a raw, funny, hypnotic, ultimately devastating picture of American unreality.

First published in the 1950s, at the height of the McCarthy era, Warlock is not only one of the most original and entertaining of modern American novels but a lasting contribution to American fiction.

Mixed feelings about audio performance

Thought the voice actor was ok, but perhaps not a good fit for this story. I expected a more gravelly, deeper voice to accompany a western, though like Warlock itself, maybe those expectations should be more nuanced. Given that the book was from the 1950’s I’m thankful someone performed it at all.

A great story, well-told

A classic western, but much more than a western. An excellent reading of this rediscovered classic.

Holy characters Batman

The story is ok, there is a whole Lotta nothing happening for a long time. I kept waiting for something exciting to happen and it never came. I guess that's part of the old west, not everything is gripping. pew pew

Narration is Poor

I’ve heard a thousand audiobooks. This has got to be one of the worst narrated of them all.

book 1 was great

started to get convoluted now I'm going to stretch this out to fifteen words yes yes
