Narrated by J. Rodney Turner
Genre: Western
Run Time: 5 hrs and 14 mins
Summary:
Eldon Hitchens, better known as Hitch, kills a slave owner, marries the slave, sets her free, and starts out on the Oregon Trail with his new wife and a friend named John.
Additional Comments:
- Clean Western.
- Seemed like a really long intro to something grander.
- I enjoyed the characters and would read more about them. They seem nice. I might have just read a super violent book that makes this one even duller, but it just didn’t seem like anything meaningful happened.
- Everybody fits in no problem.
- No gruesome details of hardship along the trail. Every river crossing went fine. Maybe I got spoiled by the Oregon Trail game. Where’s the dysentery and dying?
- This might be the first book in a long time that has almost 0 conflict. Everybody who’s truly a nasty soul usually ends up with a bullet in them.
- Everybody else is just nice regular folk who all live peacefully and help each other out.
- Everybody’s a crack shot or has a special skill.
- Every pairing works without a hitch.
- The performance fit the Western genre very well but I’m not sure it fit the character Hitch too well. He sounded like a much older man.
Conclusion:
Intriguing characters alone can’t carry the entire weight of a book. I’m holding out hope that book 2 features some conflicts to see what these characters are truly made of.
