book on CD / Carver County / 7 hours, 30 minutes
Things I loved about this story: Martin's / Johnny's transformation over the course of the story, the immersion in history, the references to cultural and historical phenomena, the resolution at the end.
Things I didn't like: the Catholicism, the non-Scriptural views expressed on the afterlife, the way the Hank / Martin situation resolved.
Narrator Roberston Dean did a nice job of creating the different characters, though the women's voices seemed a stretch. The hard part with listening to a story rather than reading the text is that some of the names of characters and places seem unclear.
All in all, a very enjoyable book. I really like some of Bloor's other work, especially Tangerine. Crusader was intriguing and would be a great discussion book on religious intolerance. I don't think I'll buy this one for CMSW, though. Historical fiction isn't a super popular genre.
