The Conquering Sword of Conan Audiobook

" I am a huge fan of Robert E. Howard's Conan series and almost all of his other writings. Just pure fun and good fantasy. Nothing heavy but well written. The most astonishing thing about Howard's vision of Conan is when you realize where he lived (in the middle of no-where Texas on the west plains) and how could a guy like that manage to write material like this. Incredible. Nothing heavy, just good he-man fighting and love making. Some creative plots and characters. Just good mindless reading for fun "

" If you love any modern day fantasy, Tolkein, George R.R. Martin you owe it to yourself to read these 3 books! Robert E. Howard's stories are gripping and relentlessness. "

" Excellent, of course. Some of Howard's best Conan stories, including "Red Nails" and "Beyond the Black River," as Howard intended them. Also contains various outlines and synopses, and another pice of the excellent essay "Hyborian Genesis" by Patrice Louinet. "

" I read this when I was in the 8th grade. I really liked it. Then the movie came out and I thought the movie was just awesome with the Govenator in it. Now, the movie looks pretty bad, and I have no idea what the book reads like now that I'm 40. "

" I really love the Conan stories, and these are Howard at his best, pushing the genre. Still, I grew tired of the formula and blatant misogyny. "

" I do not understand how guys like Howard and Chandler are not taught in American lit classes alongside Hemingway and Poe. Okay, maybe they're not Hemingway and Poe, but still, this shit's amazing. "

" No such thing as a bad Robert E. Howard Conan story. The creator of the character is certainly the master at writing the character. "

" It was interesting seeing how much Conan influenced RPGs. Red nails was a fun read. "

" More good stuff from REH. Includes the story 'Red Nails' Which is about as good as it gets. REH was definitely starting to chafe under the strictures of Heroic Fantasy and it shows, but 'Red Nails" is fine. "

" This collection contains longer Conan works, including "By the Black River", in which Howard laid out many of his theories and thoughts about the decadence of the civilized world. "

" The master of Sword and Sorcery. Great stories that scare and delight; a hero, who's strength and cunning go unrivaled, and a good dollop of other-world building that make all Conan's novels great reads. "

" nice short stories all could be movies if hollywood weren't idiots "

" I believe his sword did conquer, so the title is accurate. "

" I unashamedly love this stuff as trite as it can appear to be. The only problem with Howard's work is that he was aproduct of his day and a bit of a racist. Sword and sorcery at its best!!! "

" So enthralling to me as a teenager I used to sneak it into my math class and read using my math book as a cover (note: not recommended for passing math). "

" What is there to say? The Conan stories are a good, fun read. "

" Awesome Robert E. Howard story. "

" Barbarians are where it's at. "
