Hard Country: A Novel of the Old West Audiobook

" I enjoyed the book; but the complexity of the characters (and the number of characters) has left me feeling cheated. I think perhaps this would have been better as a two part series. "

" This book goes on my all time favorites list! Did not want it to end! "

" One of the best books I have read in a while! "

" Awesome read! Very authentic western/ historical book; enjoyed immensely "

" What a fun western saga about the Kerney family. It was a pretty easy read. "

" Very good western historical fiction. "

" A worthwhile read. Adventure, cowboys, cattle drives and a lot of history of New Mexico from the 1880s through the first World War. "

" Good explanation of how the series began. Also wonderful descriptions of Tularosa, New Mexico and the West movement of settlers. "

" Excellant Fast read. Finished in about 4 days "

" Enjoying this Western, reminds me of "Lonesome Dove", superbly written story !!! "

" Fantastic generational western historical novel. It made me want to visit New Mexico again ASAP. Highly recommended! "

" If you like Westerns, this is worth your time. Pretty much covers the settling of the old west over three generations. "

" This is one of my favorite books for 2012. I am going to jump on the second in the series as soon as it comes out! "

" Great writing - reminded me of Cormac McCarthy's "All the Pretty Horses". Captures the human character needed to match the harshness of an earlier time and a rough country. "

" I loved this book. Kind of like Lonesome Dove but better. Good ole cowboy yard. Three generations of the hard life in a hard country. "

" Absolutely one of the best westerns I have ever read, although it is unfair to label "Hard Country" as only a western. Very enjoyable read, touched with sadness. Well-developed characters, good guys (and gals) and the not-so-good. I highly recommend it. "

" loved it. . . wonderful ending. didn't think it would end the way it did. "

" Fantastic. An understated epic documenting the death of the West. "

" A solid, straight forward western. Readers with an interest in the history of New Mexico should find it especially interesting kind of like Michener's Centennial for Colorado history fans. "

" I really enjoyed this book - the writing and narration were way above average. I would have enjoyed it more if there had been an ending that matched the story. It just sort of stopped at the nearest scene even if the scene didn't make sense "
