Treasure Mountain

Summary: Second best of the series
Review: In Treasure Mountain, Orrin and Tell Sackett set off to find their father, who has been missing for twenty years. Their mother is near the end of her life and wants to know if he'll be waiting for her at the end of the road.

During their search, the brothers split up and both run into the Baston family--who are just about as nasty as the Higginses--who seem to have information about their father, but who aren't about to let it be known. Andre is the seemingly more dangerous due to his bulk, but sister Fanny is the more insidious, using her charming ways to lure both Orrin and Tell into trouble.

Eventually Tell finds the daybook left behind by his father that tells that side of the story. This lends a level of suspense to Treasure Mountain that isn't usually present in other Sackett novels. We, as well as Tell, want to know what happened and the knowledge is revealed piece by piece. Due to unforeseen circumstances, Tell has to face the final showdown on his own, which shows both him and us what he is truly made of.

Treasure Mountain is likely the best Sackett novel I have read since Sackett's Land. William Tell Sackett is definitely my favorite Sackett and I look forward to reading more in this later part of the series featuring the brothers.

(Trivia: Flagan and Galloway Sackett from the previous novel in the series, Galloway, also make a short appearance here.)

Review: This was the first book I've ever read by Louis L'amour and now I am hooked on his novels. This book is totally complete with references to history, a great plot, and humor also. Once you start reading this book, I can guarantee you wont be able to set it down. An all around pleasure to read!

Summary: Treasure Mountain
Review: Treasure Mountain by Louis L'Amour is easily the best western I have ever read. It is a very adventurous story and has much suspense to it. Treasure Mountain is a story about two brothers who set out to search for the reamains of their father. He went on a journey twenty years earlier and never returned. These boys felt it their responsibility to find out what happened to their father.
On their journey to uncover the mystery they have many encounters with different people which causes some problems. In this book it shows the love of a family and how a family works together. It'ds hard to put this book down because you don't want to be left hanging.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves mysteries and suspense. If you want that excitement while reading I would recommend that you read Treasure Mountain by Louis L'Amour. I'm not a big western fan but I absolutely loved this book.

Review: With nearly 200 hours we prefer the good stories and insight to the television and so my wife and I look forward to the new tapes as they become available. His writing style leaves us able to recognize landmarks in our southwestern travels.
William Tel is one of my favorite L.L. charactors, so when he travels to Louisiana to find his missing brother Orin the reader is in for a great story. The listener will come to realise that no one messes with "family."
I admittedly perfer the longer books which enable the listener to become more involved with the charactors. None of the books will dissapoint.
