Just too slow, like honey from a cold shelf

This book just can't get started. My favorite author is Sandford. His books invariably start with a murder in the first chapter, frequently on page one. I hate books that require chapters of character development before any action takes place. If you like those types of books however, this book is for you.

Great Story, largely true

Revisado: 08-24-24

Despite the statement at the end of the book that "any representation of persons living or dead is unintended and coincidental....." this book is totally accurate about "Hanging Judge Parker" and Bass Reeves. Someone like Shooter must have also existed. I thoroughly enjoyed the book, the story, the narration, and the ending are all excellent.

Calamity Jane meets the CIA

Revisado: 05-29-24

I got tired of the main female protagonist, what happened to her, what happens to her and her dismal future expectations. I started to fast forward her chapters and the book became much more listenable. Go to end of any chapter she is featured and the rewind 30 secs and you will have heard all you need.

Another great book from Bernard Cornwell. I love the info in the historical note. His Sharpe series is among my favorites.

Another incredibly enjoyable book from Eisler

Revisado: 09-08-23

I love all the characters in this book and the plot line. Dox carries this novel and his voicing and thoughts by BE is again superb. I find myself smiling of laughing whenever he is speaking. Then end of chapter 21 brings a great line:

"And there is somebody else we should call in case whoever we are up against is bigger and badder than we think",
"Yea, who is that?",
"Rain".

Fabulous

Revisado: 07-16-23

I love English historical fiction. This is a ribald sortie into colonial years through the eyes of a decorated scoundrel. It is hilarious and consistently entertaining and oh so politically incorrect while being true to its time.

Koontz has written a great book, this wasn’t it.

Revisado: 06-11-23

This book is so slow and boring. What story line movement takes place is backwards through rear shadowing, retrospection, and flash backs. It is the literary equivalent of a four hour baseball game without the hot dogs.

Another excellent book by Mr L’Amour.

Just another classic with his usual pacing, action and representation of America in its best times.

Strong start devolves into social lectures

Revisado: 05-11-23

The premise was great and very imaginative. However, after early interesting action we have chapter after chapter filled with social lectures. This is why the book is 17 hours long with no ending. Presumably the book ends in volume two which I am no longer interested in reading. It could have been a great book if the author stuck to the action script and the literary concept of a beginning, middle and end. Instead we have beginning (clever, very good), lecture, lecture, lecture (boring, boring boring), no ending (frustrating).
