The Wandering Hill: A Novel Audiobook

" I enjoyed this book as much as the first... maybe even more since it was an audiobook, and the person reading it is a GENIUS with the accents! :) I hope I can get the 3rd book of the trilogy in audio format. "

" So I got a copy (a first edition!) of the first of the Berrybender Narratives for Christmas. Now I have to keep reading to see how that craaaazy family's adventures turn out! Don't I have enough to read??!? "

" Larry McMurtry, America's best story teller, continues the Barrybender series. His descriptions are so wonderful, it's like you are there. This book was read by Alfred Molina - truly fabulous. "

" Enjoyed the characters and picking up on what's true and what's exaggerated. Good as audio book. "

" Listened on tape, fun to hear such a long and involved saga. "

" Book 2 was a little better than the first one. I think knowing the characters better helped move the story line along. The Berrybenders are an odd rough family and understanding them and how they are makes for a good story. "

" This is Volume 2 of the Berrybender Narratives - about a British family travelling in the wild west of the 1830's. Daughter, Tasmin, has married a mountain man, Jim Snow (known as Sin Killer) and has his son about the same time that Lord Berrybender's girlfriend, Vicki Kennet has her child. There's some side stories about an Indian and some trappers who also interact with the Berrybinders. I didn't find it a gripping tale. "

" I'm not a fan of the Berrybender Narratives...I just don't like any of the characters very much so it makes it hard for me to keep reading. What has happened to McMurtry? Can't he find some of the brilliance he put on the pages of the Lonesome Dove series? "

" My first read of this one, another great McMurtry story of characters on the Great Plains. "

" This is the 2nd of the Berrybender narratives and I liked the main characters a little more. You feel the need to see what happens to this clan. "

" This is the 2nd installment of the Berrybenders Narratives and is every bit as good as the first. "

" Everybody needs to read about the Berrybenders. There are some interesting historical characters woven in with the brilliant characters created by McMurtrey - read the series - you won't be sorry. "

" a great wild west story about the Berrybender family "

" Second of the Berrybender narratives "

" I love his books, but this has been my least favorite. Some of the bloody parts were too much for me. "

" I liked "Sin Killer" better, but the Berrybenders are still a hilarious family to read about. "

" I'm loving the characters more and more. I don't like most of them, but I love them. The story is really good. I know that isn't that specific, but The Wandering Hill and a thoroughly enjoyable book. "

" Book II of the saga of the English family crossing the American prairies in 1833. Buffalo stampedes, Indian attacks, grizzly bears, romance...it's got it all. Anxious to read Book III. "

" Not as good as "SIN Killer". Still the same wacko family awith more wierd trappers and indians. "

" Big Fun from McMurtry. Spends a bit too much time setting up the characters, but that's just to suck you in for the remaining two books in the series. "Addictive" is the operative word here. "

" Listened to this. . . pretty good but i love Larry McMurtry!!! Wish the ending had been different. . . loved the adventure! "

" This series is humorous but also very evocative of beautiful American wildernesses, and it has interesting portraits of native american life on the plains as well. "

" This is part 2 of the sereis and Larry does a great job keeping you interested in the series. He gives the Berrybenders new challages to face in the old west. "

" Ended quite strongly. Perspective of Native Americans was fascinating (if accurate). "

" LOVED the Berrybender series!! Could Not put the books down! "

" I enjoy westerns, and I loved Lonesome Dove, but this ain't no Lonesome Dove. Very violent, unpleasant novel peopled with characters that only evoked either disgust or boredom. "

" I love this series! The characters are so funny! Even the Native Americans are totally human, not charicatures of people. Wild things happen, tragic but believeable. I can't wait to get the third one! "

" I just love the way Larry McMurtry writes. His characters are vivid and alive...the story and different adventures are very real and give one a perspective of cowboy life. Very gritty in some places. This is book two, so look forward to the next one. (2003) "

" The Berrybender family in the old west/ "

" Vol II of the Berrybender Saga "

" Totally quirky and also totally fun. "

" This is part 2 of the sereis and Larry does a great job keeping you interested in the series. He gives the Berrybenders new challages to face in the old west. "

" Book 2 was a little better than the first one. I think knowing the characters better helped move the story line along. The Berrybenders are an odd rough family and understanding them and how they are makes for a good story. "

" I have always loved McMurtry. Even drove all the way to Archer City, TX to see the 'Last Picture Show' in person. "

" Not as good as "SIN Killer". Still the same wacko family awith more wierd trappers and indians. "

" I'm loving the characters more and more. I don't like most of them, but I love them. The story is really good. I know that isn't that specific, but The Wandering Hill and a thoroughly enjoyable book. "

" The Berrybender family in the old west/ "

" Not the best work by one of America's best. "

" Listened to it on CD; 2nd in the series about the Berrybenders . . . like the continuing saga and look forward to the final 2 installments . . . "

" Couldn't wait to get the series and read them all "
