The Reivers: A Reminiscence Audiobook

" This book was a bit hard to read, but really interesting. I think if I read more Faulkner I will start to love it! "

" It took me a little while to get used to the writing style, but once I did I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's very funny and full of great southern folksy wisdom. "

" pulitzer prize winner. A lot of fun. Read it, then see the movie, which is almost as good. Great characters. Great dialect. Great period piece. "

" awesome. i still love faulkner. "

" Wonderful experience of love and character in Deep South by a literary genius. Unexpected coming of age tale without undue suffering or in depth southern angst. "

" Read Nov 2011 "

" Could not get through this book. "

" Ripe genius "

" Another fantastic selection for the book club! The characters were so vivid and well crafted. Lucius was a pre-teen perfectly portrayed no matter what decade it is. "

" A comedy/adventure about whores and horse racing? Count me in! A great read. "

" Am I the only one who doesn't get Faulkner? "

" Faulkner goes comic, with mildly entertaining results. "

" The copy I had has "a crazier trip than LSD" advertising the story, but I think it's a bit different. Faulkner as more accessible but still pretty fun. The story helped me understand more of Yokpanawta county (or however it's called). "

" Like Huckleberry Finn but better. Faukner's sentence structure and vocabulary is awesome. The Reivers is a wonderfully funny story and great adventure with twists and turns rooted in pre WW 1 Southern culture. For me it was a page turner. "

" If you are coming to Faulker from some other planet, start with this one. It is a warm, accessible story that demands much less of the reader (in terms of accepting Faulker's world) than his "big four," and it is a much better set-piece than any one of his short stories. "

" i rate this as a great introduction to faulkner; it features his wonderful writing style, but in a light and very readable comedy/adventure. "

" Rambling and frustrating. Could not finish. "

" Book club wanted to try a Faulkner. "

" As usual with classics from this period, I struggle to get into the cadence of the language. But within about 75 pages, I begin to marvel at how Faulkner's characters can seem both simple and iconic and complex all at the same time. "

" The 1905 deep south through the eyes of an 11 year old who learns a whole lot about the world and his convictions in 4 crazy days. Another thumbs up for Faulkner. "

" Positively brilliant, with LOL moments driven on you by sympathetic characters. Faulkner forged this one with a light tone, rare for him, and doesn't miss a beat. Can't recommend it enough. "

" The south in all it's crazy glory! "
