A thrilling tale of betrayal and revenge set against the nineteenth-century American frontier, Michael Punke's The Revenant is the astonishing story of real-life trapper and frontiersman Hugh Glass

The year is 1823, and the trappers of the Rocky Mountain Fur Company live a brutal frontier life. Hugh Glass is among the company’s finest men, an experienced frontiersman and an expert tracker. But when a scouting mission puts him face-to-face with a grizzly bear, he is viciously mauled and not expected to survive. Two company men are dispatched to stay behind and tend to Glass before he dies. When the men abandon him instead, Glass is driven to survive by one desire: revenge. With shocking grit and determination, Glass sets out, crawling at first, across hundreds of miles of uncharted American frontier.

Based on a true story, The Revenant is a remarkable tale of obsession, the human will stretched to its limits, and the lengths that one man will go to for retribution.

Cannot say just how much I enjoyed this book - the story, the narrator, everything was perfection. I have never seen the movie but I think I’ll watch and compare. It would take a lot to match the power of this book. This narrator did a fantastic job and I’ll be looking for more.

Fantastic

The narrator's voice is intense - I found for me that I could not get into the story, as I was too distracted by the intensity of the voice. This may not be the case for you, but I would recommend listening to the sample of all audio books. I do this now to see if I can mesh well with the different voices of narrators. If I can't, I simply buy a physical copy.

I don't know if I enjoyed the story as I found it hard to listen past 20-30 minutes.
