The Daybreakers

Rating:
Summary: A good Louis L'Amour coup
Review: I don't give many L'Amour books more than three stars because I like to get more emotionally involved in my characters than he lets me. But this is definitely a good book. That comes from someone who grew up reading Louis L'Amour. I know people believe Louis never got his facts wrong, but as a western historian I've found a lot of mistakes in L'Amour's guns, and also in the historical characters he sometimes uses who were actually dead the year his books take place. I love L'Amour and the Day breakers!

Summary: "Ride with the law never against it"
Review: I just recently picked up my first L'Amour title and it happened to be a tale of the Sackett's. since that time (about a week and a half ago) I have read through six of this families stories, the best as of yet has been "the Daybreakers" I found myself totaly entrenched in the story line and the passion of Tyrel. I definetly recomend this book to any one out there, and plan to continue my own quest through the Sackett legacy.

Summary: with the wind at my back and a day to kill
Review: I read The Daybreakers in one sitting and not since discovering Conrad,Asimov,and Vonnegut in high school had a book so strongly introduced me into a new genre of fiction. The Daybreakers is the best Sackett book I have read to date. With beautiful imagery of the new american west and thoughtful page devotion to its characters and setting. It has great gunfights and a quick-paced story to back them up. I now find myself as big a fan of the warm frontier years as I was of the cold sterile future. I recommend this book to anyone with enough time to give this great story.

Summary: How to Survive Xmas shopping...
Review: One of my favorite childhood authors was Robert Louis Stevenson. The excitement/tension in his books is palpable. I get that same feeling w/Louis L'Amour.
It's a simple story simply told. I survived a 12 hr. marathon Xmas shopping trip by reading this book between stores. Great characters & great action... Consistent themes include education,family & honor. The Sacketts are a family for the ages. This uis a great place to start the Sackett Saga!

Summary: A good Louis L'Amour coup
Review: The Daybreakers is truly a western classic. It tells the tale of two brothers who find themselves alone heading west trying to find a better life for themselves and their family. Along the way they encounter battles from Indians, Renegades, Outlaws, Land-Grabbers, and the betrayel of a good friend. An adventure filled tale packed with gunsmoke, Spanish Haciendas, and the perfume of lovely senoritas. You will not be making a mistake with this one, a prime example of how action/adventure should be. Lamour is at his best with The Daybreakers.

Summary: Now this is a good one!
Review: This happens to be the first Louis Lamour that I have read, but from discussing it with other Lamour fans I have found that this book is one of his best. I really enjoyed it and although I am relatively new to his books (only 7 so far) it is probably my favorite. Lamour has opened the Western genre to me and I am now an avid western reader. This is definitely a good one to start with.
