The Shooter

Rating:
Summary: Good storyline--gives you a good sense of the times.
Review: After reading many Louis L'Amour westerns it was nice to see other issues dealt with here that L'Amour avoids--developing a relationship-sexual encounters and not just leaping to marriage without many words spoken between the parties. Hawkins deals with the harshness of the times--lawlessness and tragedy that were common to the people of the frontier. The ending would make a better impression on a television audience--i felt it was slighted somewhat--left hanging with such an abrupt end to an otherwise lengthy but not too verbose story. Makes you want to read other works by this author.
