Acerca de esta escucha

One of America’s most celebrated novelists, Cormac McCarthy announced his towering presence on the literary stage with his first novel, The Orchard Keeper. Within the pages of this classic work, John Wesley Rattner, his uncle Ather, and bootlegger Marion Sylder find their lives dangerously entwined in pre-World War II Tennessee. There, the men’s tragedies and struggles are mirrored by the looming specter of industrialization.

Least essential

Cormacs least essential book. I appreciated the depiction of Appalachia and the characters were very interesting. I think that makes the direction the story heads in that much more of a let down. This one is good as nice reminder of where the author came from and simultaneously a reminder of how much better he really became.

As a side note, I appreciated the narrators voice and characterizations but I felt that the story was read in much too run-on a fashion. I couldn’t even tell chapters apart or changes in location and perspective which added to my general confusion. This may be more an editing issue than a narration issue but nonetheless it was off putting.

Early cormac

Somewhat uneven early work but still McCarthy. Still perfecting his style but we’ll done. Enjoyed the narration as well

Less than usual

It may not be fair to judge a writer against himself when speaking in general terms but this story is less than your typical work. A great story with better than average depth, still, not as strong as his following work.

great book, poor engineering

The reader fails to capture the tone and the cadence of this great story. It was also poorly engineered with noticeable hum. Disappointing!

Classic McCarthy

Very funny at times. Especially the hillbilly dialog. Quite a bit of jumping around, so it takes some patience.

Narrator kin’a grows on ya

This was my second MxCormac McCathy book, “Blood Meridian” being my first. While this book is of singular difference to the above, it has a way of drawing you into before you know it. Now I have to start the next of his books.

A tendency to drift

I'm not going to lie - I found this one tougher-going. I've given it 4 stars because I'm a tragic Cormac McCarthy fan, and despite losing the narrative thread several times, the striking prose and rich characterisations alone are worth the price of admission.

Maybe I’m Wrong

I never thought I’d rate a McCarthy book as low as 3-stars. Even now, I wonder if I’m just wrong and I certainly plan to take another crack at this book one day.

I felt like this story meandered too much and seemed scattered. Perhaps, McCarthy was just finding his footing in his debut novel. There were definitely some excellently crafted sentences and the vocabulary was lofty, but this offering didn’t seem to have the punch that his later work presented.
