Can't beat Burke
There is something about Burke's writing that has me in the palm of his hand. He will drag you down to the very pit of hell and then bring you back to the surface, gasping for breath. A class act all round.

Magnificent
Beautiful elegiac prose, stunning evocation of both landscape and time, wonderful picaresque characters. All this and a narrator who is perfect . What's not to love?

A Masterpiece
I just cannot fault this author's output. A story that weaves together all that is good & bad in people, the state & our relationships & consequences of change. The narration is flawless, Will Patton has the skill to make the very most of his voice. The author must have been delighted with his reading. Excellent.

A fantastic story
A wonderfully written story that touches on so many faucets of life from love to hate, from honesty to lies, from kindness to cruelty. It spans a period of history that starts in the depression, progresses to the death camps in Nazi Germany and comes to rest in the oil fields of Texas. Beautifully read it's one of the finest stories I've listened to. Burke is a genius !

Extremely brilliant listen
I could listen to James lee Burke incredible writing even if there was no story line. Everything about his writing is poignant, sensitive and beautiful. Wayfaring Stranger is no different. Beautiful, just beautiful. Will Patton does the book justice. I couldn’t listen to a JL Burke without Will Patton reading the story.

Completely fabulous
One of the best books I have heard/read. Compelling if often unpleasant story, beautifully written in poetic prose. Excellent reader too. Cannot recommend too highly.

An Americana Class
This book is right up there with the best of the classics although it has to be said the ending is a little weak. Fantastic oration by Will Patton. He was the perfect selection for this work.

Quality
Like nearly every other book written by Mr. Burke and narrated by Mr. Patten, this excellent novel kept me interested the whole time. James Lee is a league apart. Upon finishing, I felt joy, and a little sadness, not unlike the feeling of losing a close friend. I will listen to this again in the future, maybe next time I won't still feel like I want to cry after the epilogue.
