The Hidden Places


Read by Roger Melin

(4.2 stars; 116 reviews)

Hollister, returning home from the war physically scarred but otherwise healthy and intact, finds life difficult among society, and so chooses to roam about a bit seeking a future for himself. He eventually leads himself to a remote area in British Columbia, which begins the tale of the next phase of his life; a life which becomes far richer in totality than he would have imagined in his old unwelcoming haunts. A life among the hidden places. (Summary by Roger Melin) (9 hr 49 min)

I was glad that the man found happiness in spite of everything. I did feel the story was a little slow and had an odd ending. However I do appreciate Roger's reading, he reads it in a way you forget you are being read to and you visualize the story as if watching a movie in you head. Thank you Roger.

SIMPLICITTY IS STILL BEST


(5 stars)

A feel good novel set against nature's grandeur. It had a lot of the feeling of a Curwood novel, and that is high praise. Roger Melin's always great rendition.

(5 stars)

Rather wordy but in all a good story. Reader is excellent and is easy to listen to listen to.

Excellent Narration


(3 stars)

But sometimes I just wanted to slap some sense into the hero. He claims that he's not whining, but he spends the whole book hiding things from his blind wife, including his scars.

Excellent Reader!


(5 stars)

The author spends quite a bit of time in philosophical musings (more than I enjoyed), but Roger Melvin does an excellent job as narrator.

Wonderful... clean story
