Eben Holden - A Tale of the North Country

Very good book and superb reader.

Runcible

Eben Holden is one of those stories that starts out slowly and gradually builds up momentum. Folksy in the best sense of the word, it has moments of sorrow, joy laughter and wistfulness, much like real life. Roger Malin is an expert, gifted reader who narrates this book with just the right amount of understated emotion to let the story unfold in the listener's mind.

Great reading of a classic American tale

I second the previous reviews. Roger does a great job with this book. The tale is classic Americana and tells of a young man coming of age in the 1840s and 1850s. All the hopes and dreams and angst and disappointment really caught me up in the story.

A wonderful reading of a master diarist. How sad that so many people never experience good times as trailblazers. The "good ol' days" may never have been so good as we remember, but we are fortunate to believe that they were.

A really good book to listen to. Roger Melin is such an excellent reader that it makes the story more interesting to listen to and it's hard to stop at any spot in the story.

Roger Melin is my favorite reader. This book reminds me of the writing of Wendell Berry, so if you are a fan of his, I think you will like this book.

Splendid!
