From AudioFile:
Kesey, whose credentials as a novelist are well established, takes a light-hearted look at the very first Pendleton Round-Up. In fleshing out his three main characters, an African-American, a Native American and a spirited white boy from Tennessee, Kesey is more interested in scene-setting than in providing clear narrative--an essential ingredient in any audiobook. As for Kesey's reading, he's incapable of raising his voice above an abrasive whisper. D.A.W. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
