Title: Ramona
Subtitle: The Heart and Conscience of Early California
Author: Helent Hunt Jackson
Narrator: Boots Martin
Format: Unabridged
Length: 5 hrs and 45 mins
Language: English
Release date: 12-16-99
Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc.
Ratings: 4 of 5 out of 39 votes
Genres: Fiction, Historical
Publisher's Summary:
Termed the Uncle Tom's Cabin of the southwestern Indians and the first protest novel of California, Ramona is the story of 3 cultures - Indian, Mexican, and Anglo - locked in combat. The upheaval and injustice are humanized through the romance of a beautiful half-Indian orphan who grow up as the ward of Señora Moreno in privileged surroundings, then falls in love with an Indian and joins him in a life of poverty and tragedy. The Ramona Pageant in Hemet, California, based on this romance, has played each year since 1923, reenacting the transition period between Mexican traditions and the new U.S. and state governments.

Critic Reviews:
"The impact of [Jackson's] work makes it clear that a single person...can change the lives of millions. The defiant spirit that produced Ramona is the answer to complacency, to defeat, to injustice." (Michael Dorris, from the introduction to the Signet Classics edition of Ramona)
Members Reviews:
Does not follow along with the book!
Any additional comments?
I'm writing this because this audio did not follow along correctly with my book! I wanted to be able to read along with it, but the audio version skips around.
Great book!
I could hardly take a break from listening. Strong characters, great character development and involvement with each other. Loved, loved, loved this book.
Boring
Not enough substance for characters. The main character, Ramona, should have been developed a lot more.

I had to read it for my history class it was a great story I ever read.
Wonderful Historical Fiction!
It was a story I did not want to put down. The story of the Missions, the Native Americans and the Mexicans of early California has never been written better than this. I have seen the play Ramona twice over the past 15 years at the Ramona Bowl in Southern California. It was not until I listened to this entire book that the story came to life for me. I will be seeing the play once again next weekend and look forward to seeing it through new eyes!!
