The First Fast Draw by Louis L’Amour
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A fine tale by L’Amour with the usual unusual layout of a story that most westerns can’t pull off. Also, as usual a lot is covered in a few pages another author would take 50 to write.
This setting is north Texas and the scenery is excellently written as usual. L’Amour covers everywhere from swamp to mansion to town in description that will put the reader there. The characters are also great as always, though there is often too much similarity between various characters from other books. I have to wonder why L’Amour didn’t just do a series of one character instead what is nearly a series of one character with different names.
The ending for some will be somewhat unsatisfying, but that is not unusual of a L’Amour book.
Bottom line: I recommend this book. 8 of 10 points.
