When larger-than-life cattle rancher Jordan "Bick" Benedict arrives at the family home of sharp-witted but genteel Virginia socialite Leslie Lynnton to purchase a racehorse, the two are instantly drawn to each other. But for Leslie, falling in love with a Texan was a lot simpler than falling in love with Texas. Upon their arrival at Bick's ranch, Leslie is confronted not only with the oppressive heat and vastness of Texas but also by the disturbing inequity between runaway riches and the poverty and racism suffered by the Mexican workers on the ranch.

Publisher's Summary
Now an Academy Award-winning Netflix film by Jane Campion, starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Kirsten Dunst: Thomas Savage's acclaimed Western is "a pitch-perfect evocation of time and place" (Boston Globe) for fans of East of Eden and Brokeback Mountain.
Set in the wide-open spaces of the American West, The Power of the Dog is a stunning story of domestic tyranny, brutal masculinity, and thrilling defiance from one of the most powerful and distinctive voices in American literature. The novel tells the story of two brothers—one magnetic but cruel, the other gentle and quiet—and of the mother and son whose arrival on the brothers’ ranch shatters an already tenuous peace. From the novel’s startling first paragraph to its very last word, Thomas Savage’s voice—and the intense passion of his characters—holds listeners in thrall.
"Gripping and powerful...A work of literary art." —Annie Proulx, from her afterword

Abrupt Ending and Hard to Follow Story
I found the story hard to follow at points. The author does a wonderful job character building but I felt that the ending was very very abrupt and confusing. There was little to no segway into the end and I had to rewind the book to see if I missed something.

Loved the performance of this book
I’m not familiar with Chad Michael Collins, as an actor but his reading extended my imagination and evocation of the book. I listen to books often these days, and it used to be that some books were ruined by what I now do absolutely view as performances, but audio books have gotten constantly better. Often they could not compete with the voice in my head, or they clashed horribly with what I wanted to hear. Chad Michael Collins has the correct voice to narrate this book, or maybe more importantly he has the voice that extends the meaning of the book. His vaguely western intonation and its authoritative depth brought to mind the time and place of a western landscape to my mind compelling me to listen late into the night. This is a story about masculinity, and the voice with it’s rich masculine rasp is like a confession of hubris. It felt like the author’s voice telling this story. The events in the story are dramatic, while all the drama is withheld and suppressed, the reading is exactly that.

This book is masterfully written. I love that I did not at all see what was coming in the ending and that made all the more beautiful to me. I will hold this incredible work with me dearly as it truly is a magnificent story. Also, I enjoyed the narration very much. The slow even pace at fist made me wonder if I would come to think it monotonous. Instead, it became almost spooky as I began to feel a sense of coming dread. Wonderful wonderful book.

A Good Read
I saw the movie and thought that there might be more depth in the book. So I went to Audible and here it is and it’s well done and beautifully written. It helped me appreciate the way the Director fleshed out some things that are not overtly discussed in the book and I found some other things to appreciate in the story that are not addressed in the film. I highly recommend this reading. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Captivating
Never written a review before, but I am compelled to say that I was engrossed from the first sentence to the last. I’ve always liked character-driven books, but this one really delivers character interiority that dominates and builds excellent tension that kept me captivated without much action. The narrator is a great match for the text with a handsomely rugged voice. Definitely one to recommend.

This is not my genre of interest at all but after viewing the movie on Netflix, I wanted to know more background of each character.
I was simply enthralled by the novel. Thomas Savage writes so beautifully and deeply he had me longing for more. I felt like I was right there in those mountains feeling so cold. The book is better than the movie and the movie is outstanding. Pace may be a little slow in the movie but that is all Jane.

Complex and powerful
I enjoyed this novel far more than I thought I would. I approached it with some trepidation as the cowboy genre is not my usual reading. I like to read (or listen these days) the book before I watch a film of it and I’m very glad I did. It gives a gripping psychological description of the characters, particularly Phil, along with beautiful descriptions of the harsh landscape. I’m looking forward to watching Jane Campion’s film even more than I was.
I thought it was wonderful but I nowadays only give five stars to books I find truly exceptional. The narration is excellent.

Read the book ; see the film
This is the first time I have seen the film and then read the book and found both incomparable.
Jane Campion is a genius filmmaker (view in the cinema not streamed).
Savage’s original, complex study, superbly read, is mesmerising and stimulating.
With The Power of the Dog the written word and cinematic experience are different but true to the tale. This is a book I will listen too again.

Absolutely Essential Reading
This book is amazing. A stunning insight into the Montana ranch life in the early twentieth century. Phil is an electrifying character. He leaps off the page, so visceral you can almost smell him. Finding out what makes him tick, what makes him into this thoroughly horrible, misogynistic bully. The story builds so gradually and with each chapter, you find it even more compelling.
The narrator is brilliant and performs this exceptional book so wonderfully, he really brings it to life. The afterword by Annie Proulx is an interesting insight into the life of the author and the powerful imagery that makes this book essential reading.

The Power of the Savage
The Power of the Dog by Thomas Savage
“Having closed the little door and hidden away the little key, George would again look straight into the face of the clock and then at his accurate pocket watch.
And that was that! But wonderful to watch.
It was more than watching a man wind a full clock. It was watching a man seeing to it that things went on the way that they had. And always would.”
Into this undisturbed and familiar landscape of the Burbank brothers comes the unlikely and transformative figure of a woman. Brother George is enamoured with his new wife. Older Brother Phil is livid.
Set mostly on the Burbank ranch in rural Montana in 1925, the narrative is a delight to read. And a compulsory companion to the Jane Campion adaptation released in 2021.
Annie Proulx, who writes the afterword, places it amongst other great American novels from the early 20th Century.

Good guy / bad guy book.
This story is full to the brim with unlikeable but amazingly real characters and no real heroes. Whilst the story is set post WW1, this could easily fit into 2022 as it seems to me that attitudes haven't really changed that much. Phil is a nasty piece of work - a brilliant mind but racist, sexist and a bully with underlying mental health issues. Peter has learned to manage what appears to be autism. George goes quietly about his life but does show some steel when it's something he really wants, in particular, Rose. Rose is intimidated by everyone including her son. We all know these people.
