Thirteen Moons (Abridged): A Novel Audiobook

" Poor resolution. "

" One of the most beautiful books I have ever read - tragically beautiful because of a lost era in our country, a lost mindset, a lost self-reliance that Frazier conveys in this book. Definitely for an old soul. "

" Charles Frazier is a wonderful storyteller, but this book lost steam after a while. "

" I liked this, but it was no COLD MOUNTAIN. Interesting, but not particularly memorable historical novel. "

" Interesting enough, but I could put it down at any time without angst. Do need to check out some historical events I didn't know about. "

" Didn't like this near as much as Cold Mountain. However, Frasier's writing is wonderful. I just didn't feel like there was any resolution and I was really waiting for that. "

" Loved the historical aspect of the book. "

" Am loving this book. It's gorgeous. "

" I liked the first third a great deal, but the rest of it just dragged on and bored me. But I sometimes still think about the first part. "

" Love the details of the setting... thoughts of the characters... harshness of the times... "

" Better than Cold Mountain. It is on my re-read list. "

" Hard to match Cold Mountain - but definitely worth reading. "

" another wonderful adventure by this author. Again, the historical references were very moving and helped the story move quickly. "

" so far fair to middlin "

" Since I was a big fan of Cold Mountain, I had pretty high expectations for this novel which is also set in Pre-civil war Appalachia. I enjoyed it for the most part, but after awhile I tired of the main character. He wasn't Inman I guess. "

" I enjoyed this - he is a wonderful composer of words and the characters are vivid. "

" Good story, but was it ever loooong. There were MANY slow parts. "

" very disappointing follow-up to Cold Mountain! "

" I LOVED Cold Mountain, so I was so excited to read Frazier's second novel. Sadly, I was rather disappointed. If you like Twain, you might like Thirteen Moons; it has a lilting quality full of hyperbole, local legend, lore and tall tales. It just wasn't for me. "

" This book is a work of fiction, but as you read it you cannot help but wonder. A story of the Cherokee Nation that will keep you turning the page and wondering. A beautiful story of love and caring. "

" Excellent audio book. Charles Frazier is first rate - learned a lot of history too. "

" I absolutely loved Cold Mountain, so I was excited to read this one. Frazier's beautiful writing was still in there, but the narrative was a bit rambling and the characters a bit obscure. I was disappointed, but it still merits three starts. "

" This book was a bit slower than I thought it would be, but I loved the descriptions of Native Americans and the surrounding wildnerness. I was so engrossed in the love story, and it ultimately disappointed me a bit. "

" I find myself thinking about this book even though it has been months since I read it. This story taught me to never give up despite set backs. Life goes on. "

" Loved and have reread Cold Mountain--did not enjoy this one. "

" Boring. Boring, boring boring. I have this thing where I have to finish a book once I start it, or else I would have just stopped reading this one in the middle. So finishing it was like a chore and the ending was not worth the slog. "

" A very well written tale of a fictional legend in the time before and after the Civil War. I listened to this on audio. The reader was good, but the book droned on too long. A shorter version would have gotten 4 stars. "

" I know this book was an award winner so some people obviously liked it. However, I could not finish it. The main reason was the lack of quotation marks. It seemed like the lack of those made everything just run together. "

" What an excellent adventure! Glad I got to know Will. I'll cherish him a long time. "

" Interesting story about the removal of the Cherokee from the Carolinas. "

" Sorry. I liked Cold Mountain, but I only got through about a third of this one. Life is too short to be bored out of my mind. Started out a little like Lonesome Dove, which I loved, so I had high hopes, but they were quickly dashed. "

" download from the jax public library(overdrive)and enjoy it very much. It seems this book is for the men and the Cold Mountain book is for the woman. "

" I loved this. It's a well-researched look at an often misunderstood world. I cried so much while reading it that Josh threatened to confiscate it. "

" Audio Book. The story of William Cooper who was sold as an indentured servant by his aunt and uncle when he was 12 to run a trading post on the Cherokee Nation. He becomes a member of the Cherokee Nation and buys the trading post after the owner encount "

" This book is one of my most favorite reads. This author weaves an amazing tapestry of words. He hooks you and puts you in a trance of sorts. You can picture his story in your head to every last detail. Amazing! "

" This is my favorite book! I read it several times a year and love it more each time. "
