Dull

The story line was very good. However the presentation was dull. I finished it but I found it hard to stay focused.

My First Audible Book

Would you consider the audio edition of Give a Boy a Gun to be better than the print version?

I was going to get the Kindle version but then I saw in the review that the Kindle version has some problems. I had gotten an Audible gift subscription for Christmas so I thought I would try the Audible version. I was going on a long trip and it seemed the perfect time to explore Audible. I have not seen the print version of this book.

What other book might you compare Give a Boy a Gun to and why?

This is also the first Jack Olsen book I have "read" and I will definitely seek out others. Right now I cannot think of any other book that compares to it, even though I read a lot of true crime books.

Which character – as performed by Rich Miller – was your favorite?

Bill Pogue, the older game warden. It was also interesting to hear about Claude Jr. and Claude Sr. There were a lot of very interesting characters in this story.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

There was already a TV movie made about this, but I have not seen it yet. I think a good tag line would be A Misguided Justice.

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed this book as an Audible book very much. My next Audible book will be another Jack Olsen book. The narrator was excellent. More like a storyteller than a reader and I really enjoy storytelling performances.

Book good, Narrator - go back to Hollywood

I've known of this book for years but never read it. it was refreshing to see it on Audible. I grew up and around where it took place and knew some of the people. I was insulted with the narrator's arbitrary creation of his own pronunciations. It was supposed to take us there, not remind us of how Hollywood knows best. Pretty voice, but wrong guy for the job. Great book though.

Compelling Story

The story is interesting, and certainly one we all remember from the headlines. The narrator is much to be desired. I’m amazed that there isn’t more oversight. He mispronounces many words. “Groove of trees”, and stupid mistakes like that.

Excellent

Top notch crime writing by Olsen, as usual. Ranks second to Night of the Grizzlies.

This book is okay...

Not one of the better Olson's books. I wasn't thrilled with the narration, but maybe due to how the story was written.

Okay, but not like most Jack Olsen

It was a somewhat interesting book, but nothing as compelling as much of what I’ve listened to by the author. And I also am definitely partial to Kevin Pierce as narrator, but I did see this through to the end.

Claude Dallas

Claude Dallas is a POS. It is sad think most of that jury was fooled by this story. Luckily the sentencing judge saw through the lies!
