Dylan's Memories

The Evans Family Saga, Book 7

By: C.J. Petit

Narrated by: Jim Meskimen

As Dylan talked to Gwen, he told her how he felt that some of the more important stories of the first two generations needed to be passed on to the younger Evans.

She suggested that he should write them down so they wouldn’t be forgotten, and he agreed. He knew that he would have to invent some of those stories because he wasn’t there, but he knew the character of the men and women who had created much of the Evans family legend, and he was sure that they wouldn’t mind his use of a bit of literary license.

He only hoped that the youngsters would be able to read his hen scratching. Even when he was young, his penmanship was horrible, and now that he was an old man with arthritic fingers, it was close to an illegible scrawl. But it was important to him because they were.

They were the Evans family.

Includes bonus story, They Call Me Peanut.

Love

Love this series action love excitement law family with great morals laughter loss and tragedy all in one can’t wait for more

BIG TEAR JERKER BUT LOVED IT ALL THE SAME

I was confused and I cried and was heartbroken that the elders died together.

Dylan's memories

This is the last book in this series. This book is so emotional. You really need to read the first six to get the full understanding. I have never been so invested in a series as this one. This book goes back and shows you each of the main family members when and how they died. This was sad or it was to me. Each book was excellent. This has to be my favorite series I've ever listened to. I have all seven books and I'll listen to them over. This book brings closure to the Evans family. That generation anyway. I hope C.J. Petit continues with more books with the new generation of The Family. Jim meskimen does an excellent job narrating this series.

Tearjerker

“Dylan’s Memories” is the last book in the Evans Family Saga. C. J. Petit ends the series with the ending of the lives of the original family members. The story is told by the son (Dylan) and daughter (Gwen) of Lynn Evans. The story opens in 1955 at the Double EE Ranch when Dylan and Gwen are in the final stages of their lives. Gwen suggests Dylan write down what he remembers of their parents and grandparents’ lives. Be prepared. This story is a tear jerker, but a great ending to a memorable series. I enjoyed the extra story tagged to the end of the book. A short story about the donkey, Peanut, who is featured in almost every book in the series. The story is told by Peanut, which is a different touch. This is a series that is worth rereading in a few years.

I read this as an audiobook downloaded from Audible. The book is six hours and eighteen minutes. Jim Meskimen does a good job narrating the series.

keeps you listening but what a horrible ending

They all die tragically pretty much. the author wrote them throughout the series like the hero of a western who can't be killed. This book destroyed that image I have of them. And I don't think it fit the characters he wrote.

Steep decline from a shallow precipice

A modern which equals soft and WEAK representation of what life throughout the 1800s in early 1900s truly was. Not recommended.
