Book Reviews of The Collected Short Stories of Louis L'Amour, Volume 1: The Frontier Stories
Book Review: Good, not great
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been a fan of Louis L'Amour for as long as I can remember and I have always liked the audio tapes, and now CD's, that let me listen to the stories when I am driving. But I do have a couple of complaints about The Collected Short Stories of Louis L'Amour Volume One and Volume Two. First, it would be nice if they listed the titles of the short stories, but they don't. There is no where on the CD itself, the CD case, or the slip cover with the titles of the stories. Why the big secret?
Second, and more important, neither of the readers, John Bedford Lloyd for Volume One and Jason Culp for Volume Two are good at doing voices. Their natural voices are great but then they try to change their voices for various characters, instead of simply reading with their natural voice, and that significantly detracts from the stories. And neither is any good at doing women's voices and shouldn't try. It is embarrassing. It is also embarrassing when Culp does the voices of some of the heros - they come of as either 10 or 12 year old whiny kids (as in The Drift) - or not very bright adults. What is the point? If different voices are important then they should use more than one person to read the story. If not, dispense with the attempt since it detracts from the stories.
