Woe to Live On: A Novel Audiobook

" The story is brutal and depicts the horrors of war in such a vivid way that I was disgusted by these murderers. At the same time, I found that I was sympathetic to them, and their need for vengeance after being "invaded," and the language nearly made me laugh throughout. "

" Set on the Missouri/ Kansas border in the dying days of the Civil War. Full of the wonderful langauge that is Woodrell's forte and characters you remember long after the book is done. "

" I read this after seeing the Ang Lee movie "Ride with the Devil." Beautifully written, studded with small gems of language, e.g., "As he left me, hope was with me, but I was getting suspicious of it, and did not toss a big embrace around it." "

" Another amazingly great book from Woodrell, such a talent ! "

" It isn't often that I can finish a book and immediately want to flip back to page 1 and start again. In fact, I knew before I'd even finished chapter one that I was going to give it 5 stars and return to read it again some day. Mr. Woodrell makes me proud to be a bookworm. "

" A completely different look at the Civil War. Great book. "

" Dayum. Brutal and amazing. "

" Easiest five stars I've given in quite some time. I am otherwise speechless in my admiration of this book and Woodrell as a writer. Minus some appreciative cussing. "

" Wild story that takes place during the Civil War - as seen from the rebels side - an ultimately a love story too. "

" Just "discovered" this author. Loved his "Winter's Bone", and "Woe to Live On" makes me want to read more of his work. "

" A civil war action novel. I love the way he writes. I think I could read about his charaters talking about anything. "
