Black Jack

a good book to listen to

Brand had pretty much the same plots and characters (including stunning horses) in his novels, but they are good stories that hold your attention. One odd thing about Kilmer’s reading is the pronunciation of the horse’s name. He started out with Les Sangre (even tho Les is French and Sangre is Spanish) then it was La Sangre and ended with El Sangre.

Nature vs Nurture story; quite well done.

Ancient Aunt

This story is well worth your time. It's a classic nature vs nurture tale set in the west and featuring characters you come to like and take an interest in their outcomes. And the action will keep you guessing right up to the end of the last chapter -- which way will our young man turn? Excellent Librivox volunteer reader as well :)

Kilmer, always a good reader! Some of the story was riveting, especially the first part. Then agonizing in the latter part as the hero seeks to find his true self....new characters and events that seem to go on and on. Galls me that the betrayer was never discovered which would have been an exciting moment.

Reader worth getting used to.

Max Brand explores the complexities of blood relations in this novel. Also examined is the concept of "nature versus nuture." Max Brand is an artistic genius at reveling character and developing the theme.

Avid Listener

A unique western with a unique, feel-good ending. Brand stood at the head of his class and still does. Kilmer's style and voice add pure enjoyment to these stories.
