If you could sum up Hell Hole in three words, what would they be?
Excellent! Spellbinding! Riveting!
What did you like best about this story?
It is an accurate historical tale of Bass Reeves, U.S. Marshall. After hearing this fine audio rendition of Hell Hole I did some research. This book is on point with his life and times. The blending of so many real persons from the time period is seamless. Descriptions of locations is authentic.
What about Ken Farmer’s performance did you like?
I appreciated how Ken Farmer used his voice to effectively portray so many different characters and carry the narrative along at such a pace the story seemed to flow effortlessly. I would find myself imagining I was Bass Reeves each time he spoke. Yet, felt equally at ease with each of the other voices. The subtle nuances in each character seemed flawless from character to character. Never had to think about who was speaking as each character was distinct unto themselves.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I did! Started listening while taking a road trip and ended up continuing well beyond my normal bed time to complete it. A riveting story.
Any additional comments?
I'm hooked! Can't wait for Farmer's next audio book to be released. Hope it's another of his great westerns but would certainly give a listen to the Black Eagle Force series he has coauthored.
