It could just be edited so the volume is not higher than the other characters of the book but keep the same gruffness and tone of Gus’s voice. The books follow the exploits of a group of former Texas Rangers as they try to carve. I rarely take the time to write a review but hope this would be helpful to someone else or to the creators of this audible version of lonesome dove. Lonesome Dove is a series of four novels written by Larry McMurtry. I doubt that the people that created this set down and listened to all 33 hours. The Oscar and Pulitzer Prize winning writer of Lonesome Dove, The Last Picture Show, Terms of Endearment, and the Brokeback Mountain screenplay, McMurtry. I understand that they were trying to create this character that did speak louder and was hard of hearing but when listening to an audible book they need to be more aware of there listening audience. I would listen to a different version of this book if I were you.

I only made it through this book by keeping my finger on the control volume so I could turn it down when Gus spoke which was often.

However, I would not recommend this audio version because the voice of Gus McCray was decimals higher than the other voices in the audible version and extremely irritating to listen to. Loved the story with all of its great characters. Lonesome Dove Based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel by Larry McMurtry and one of the most heralded programs in the history of television, this sprawling epic of the West is the story of the last, defiant frontier, a daring cattle drive, and an undying love.
