Wildlife

By: Richard Ford

Narrated by: Noah Michael Levine

When Joe Brinson was 16, his father moved the family to Great Falls, Montana, the setting for this harrowing, transfixing novel by the acclaimed author of Rock Springs. Filled with an abiding sense of love and family, and of the forces that test them to the breaking point, Wildlife is a book whose spare poetry and expansive vision established it as an American classic.

great story, too many towns mispronounced

The story was great and I enjoyed the cadence of the narrator, but he pronounced so many towns in the surrounding areas incorrectly that it made it hard to enjoy. If you aren't familiar with the region, then it won't be much of a bother at all.

Mispronunciations

Mispronunciations of towns in Montana & Idaho. I would expect readers of audible books to know how to pronounce words and places in the story correctly.

Mysterious yet Precise and Full of Truth

This story struck me as both mysterious in an elusive way, yet also incredibly precise in its depictions of human relationships (especially in the context of married life and family). The book speaks a truth that is hard to succinctly articulate, but it is there in the story.

Beautiful Wildlife

Saw the Paul Dano directed movie and enjoyed the picture he painted so much that I wanted to read the book. Steadily paced, beautiful setting. Nothing makes me want to spend more time in southern Montana like this story. Well told, well written.

meh

ends before it begins. I kept waiting for it to get good and then it was over. disappointed
