Author: Don Winslow
My Rating: 👍👍👍👍
My Review: This was a short book that popped up as a freebie on my Audible subscription. I've lived in the Pacific Northwest for the last forty-two years so the title caught my attention. Ed Harris an excellent narrator and the story brought back many memories of growing up in the 1970's and the Vietnam war. Don Winslow is an great author and I look forward to reading more of his books.
Description (Audible): It was 1970 in a defeated Rhode Island fishing town. Vietnam and Nixon dominated the national news. Both the near and distant future looked bleak. But they were five inseparable high school friends with something incredible in common: an unwavering resolve to look after each other no matter what hell life threw at them. And they were on a mission. The plan was simple: Go off the grid before they turned 18 to avoid the draft. They’d sell some grass, stack some cash, then head west and start a commune. What could possibly go wrong?
Descriptioin (ChatGPT): Oregon by Don Winslow is a brutal, fast-paced descent into the morally murky depths of the American West. With his signature mix of gritty realism and sharp, noir-inspired dialogue, Winslow crafts a tale of criminals, betrayals, and high-stakes heists that’s as rugged as the land it’s set in. It’s part Western, part crime thriller, and all heartless, proving once again that Winslow knows how to make you question what’s more dangerous: the law or the people who break it. Buckle up—Oregon isn’t a place for the faint of heart.
