A very enthralling story! I travel throughout this area of the country, and the accurate historical perspective of this book will now give new insight to the landscape I pass. The characterization of the various known historical figures really brought the story to life! The narrator did a fabulous job, too. Overall a highly recommended book!

A rich and arduous adventure that kept my focus through the entire read -- word for word. The movie could have adopted more aspects of the book making it better overall, that's Hollywood for you though!

A great story and tale of the rough conditions that men had to endure in that era. The narrator was one of the best that I've heard and I agree with many others that the ending was fairly anticlimactic, but it is based closely on true events so that is not all that surprising. I appreciated the final remarks at the end of the story that went over what was accurate and what parts were fictionalized. Would highly recommend to anyone, but maybe not those with a weak stomach!

awesome story! I don't plan on watching the movie because I loved the book too much. and the narrator was great too

Good novel but the ending was anticlimatic. A good introduction to the era of the mountain man and fur trade.

What an amazing tale of survival story of the book makes me want to learn more about the early 1800s the narration what is done quite easy to follow along and nine hours went by fast I would highly recommend this book to someone

If your idea of revenge after listening to a book for 9 hours is punching a guy in the face and shooting someone in the shoulder then this is your book. If not, don't waste your time. I thought the movie was bad, but the book is worse. The did a very good job of advertising it because they fooled me.

Great Book! Very vivid language! I simply loved it!

Love how the narrator used different voices for each character! Great book

Reminded me of Cormac McCarthy...Jim Harrison and a little David Morrell i.e. "Testament " or "The First Revelle"

Great listen! Looking forward to comparing it to the movie.

Excellent story. A little bit of gore and death but the story kept you captivated and the narrator was awesome buy getting in character for each and every person in the book. Highly recommend this book and should be read before seeing the movie.

Overall I enjoyed the book. The narrator was excellent and the story kept me engaged throughout. My one disappointment was the ending which seemed to be incomplete and was therefore unsatisfactory.

Good book. Narrator is good except for voice volume is to inconsistent. I'm in a loud environment so makes it hard to hear it all.

Great listen! I enjoyed it. The narrator made the characters come to life.

An excellent and thrilling adventure. Well written and skillfully narrated, makes this book come alive. If you are in the mood for a heart pounding and intense tale of survival and revenge. The revanent delivers all this and more.

A riveting and equally inspiring book, which is just as excellently narrated!

What a great book. Loved it! I have not viewed the movie yet, but am looking forward to doing so. I imagine it won't be near as good.

Good read. A little disappointed in the ending especially after seeing movie. Very well written with wonderful descriptions of The characters and their travails.

Great book. The narration was excellent and it kept me engaged. I loved the themes of revenge, self reflection, forgiveness and the ability to let go. Amazing story.

Loved the book. Read it after I saw the movie. So much better plot than the movie version. Highly recommended.

I've read a few books about the fur-trappers of the West and was always fascinated by the story of Glass. This was an AMAZING read. The Narrator excelled at capturing the essence of each character.

great adventure . well narrated and kept me listening

What a fun story. I listened also because the movie was coming out. The narration is excellent and done at the perfect speed. A must listen!

This book is excellent. Obviously the preview for the upcoming film had me excited and eager to listen to this novel. It was amazing. The story is excellent and provides a great escape. The narration is also spectacular. I cannot say enough about how well done it was. The narrator does a spectacular job with all of the characters and helping to add to the content of the book. Highly Recommend!
