The Trail West by William W. Johnstone
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is clearly being written by a writer outside of the typical Johnstone Clan. The entire drive of the book is so very different from Johnstone books. I really liked it. This book is very much a character study and his adventures.
This Johnstone volume is head and shoulders above most Johnstone books. Thewre are many places throughout the book where I realized a typical Johnstone book would have had a simple, often poorly written, bit in it. This one not only gives more complexity, but it’s also entertaining reading.
The weakest parts of the books are the front and end pieces. Both are stilted.
Otherwise this is a great book.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 8 out of 10 points.
