This was my first Wendell Berry book. I grew up in a small town and have always enjoyed books that are able to capture the feel. This one does it very well. I especially liked the progression of Jayber's faith throuh the years. #

Wendell Berry's novel is by turns funny, poignant, and thought-provoking. The performance in this audiobook by Paul Michael is wonderfully done and brings the different characters to life. #

The celebrated novelist and poet returns to Port William, Kentucky, to tell the story of Jayber Crow, town barber. He is wonderfully performed by the talented Paul Michael. A one-time seminary student, Jayber now sits in his barber chair and watches the changes in his once agrarian world, espousing a Christian philosophy that is both ancient and fresh. Narrator Michael goes easy on the rural accents and handles the passages of life lessons with professionalism and grace. Michael allows his voice to age as the story pulls listeners deeper and deeper into Jayber's quiet, unassuming life. Highlights include an unrequited love affair, eventually fulfilled just as life is drawing to a close. R.O. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine #
