Red Clark at the Showdown by Gordon Young
My rating: 1 of 5 stars
It’s good to come across an honestly terrible book to remind the reader how bad a book can be. Thi sis certainly one of the worst I have ever read. Poor plotting, writing, characters, etc.
Part of the problem is Young’s effort to have the character’s dialogue as it might have been in the late 1800s. He does this poorly. In that there is also poor punctuation and Young’s inability to connect the character to the dialogue a good deal of the time makes for an impossible book to read.
Making it all worse is what seems a very good idea for a plot executed in the most confounded way possible. Young tries to keep the mystery going by characters pondering what is happening. This is done in first, second and third person. Auuugh!!
I could go on,but the idea should be evident.
Bottom line: I do not recommend this book. 2 out of 10 points.
