Started: Oct. 27
Finished: Nov. 6
Notes: I was traveling recently, and while I brought a book with me for reading, I didn't plan on finishing that book so soon. So, on the road without a read, I had to drop into the Back Again Bookshop in Myrtle Beach, SC, my favorite little used book store in that region. And since I was in the mood to read westerns and had just finished one L'Amour novel, I thought I'd snag another one. This one is about a young man who has been groomed by a powerful crime boss to take over the business, but the young man has to decide whether he wants to become a criminal in the Old West or to become a law-abiding citizen. Guess I'll find out.
Mini review: I didn't enjoy this one as much as the last L'Amour novel I read. The plot was good, about a young man raised to be an outlaw though he didn't really want to be one, and the characters were interesting enough. But the story was a bit slow, in my opinion, and the action lacking at least until the end, and even then some of the action was off screen, not something I prefer.
