A review of the misleadingly titled "unabridged" audiobook,
By
This review is from: Selected Unabridged Stories from: With These Hands (Louis L'Amour) (Audio Cassette)
Unabridged, for most of us, means the text of the audiobook is left intact, just like the text of the printed book. This text is definitely abridged. There are 11 stories in the book - this audio version contains only three: "With These Hands", "Dream Fighter" and "Voyage to Tobalai". Those three short stories are unabridged, but the text of the original book itself is definitely abridged.These re-reprinted short stories (originally they appeared in pulp fiction magaines are read by veteran actor Keith Carradine who does a great job, especially with "Dream Fighter" - the best in this collection and also the introductory story for Kip Morgan who L'amour uses in other boxing and later detective stories. Carradine creates a unique old-style boxing trainer voice that perfectly fits the 1940s-style slang used in the text. "With These Hands" is the story of an oil company executive that survives a plane crash in Alaska in the winter and his efforts to survive. "Dream Fighter" is the best of the bunch - it is about an up and coming fighter who dreams how he will win his fights will take place and simply does what his dreams tell him to do. "Voyage to Tobalai" features another recurring L'Amour character, Ponga Jim Mayo, in a World War II adventure. |
