Critiques

excellent read & a hokey but cute story


(4 stars)

the reader did a fantastic job! if it wasnt for the reader i may have given up on this book. this is a kind of hokey "aww shocks ma'am" type story. a boring train robbery but the book gets kind of interesting in the middle to end area. a love story as well. clean for adults or children.

GREAT ROMP


(5 stars)

The author certainly makes the reader wait. A complicated story with lots of good guys and plenty of bad guys. The cavalry actually saves the day. And, no one could have read it with the panache of DW.

Another fine mess of cleaned up thru the passions of love. And this happens upon the final words of misunderstanding being now understood.

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! Beautifully read. For a train robbery with a suprising twist, I highly recommend this audiobook. Now for the movie.
