Death Rides a Chestnut Mare (The Gun Series)

Rating:
Summary: The book was the greatest, I couldn't put it down.
Review: It was the first book that i read by Ralph Compton. I must tell you that i cant wait to read the next one. The book kept you on the edge of your seat. Its the first time i have read a book that continues onto the next one. Cant wait for to read (The Shadow of a Noose).

Rating:
Summary: I was extremely disappointed by content and style
Review: Louis L'Amour would roll over in his grave! The writing is amature with the same plot points used continuously. Killing twenty men by shooting at gun muzzle flashes in the dark gets very boring very quickly. I struggled through this book with the hope that is would some how get better(not!) only to find out that there will be another. Not for me.

Summary: Not exciting enough for this western fan!
Review: The best thing about this book is the title. Any comparison to L'Amour is limited to the picture of the horse on the cover. Flat, uninteresting prose; flat, uninteresting characters; no sense of time or place. I tried but couldn't finish. This is the first -- and last -- Compton for me.

Summary: the best

Summary: just a pop western
Review: The premise was good - female gunfighter goes after father's killers - but you'll have to accept the action with huge bag of salt. Come on, 17 year old female greenhorn gunfighter killing, by my count, 27 men in about 6 months? Why, the writer himself says John Wesley Hardin killed 31 men all his life! A gunfighter who isn't afraid, almost never misses is almost always not very exciting, probably because you know he/she is going to win all the battles. Give me a more realistic hero anytime.

Summary: Unable to put it down
Review: This book is a fine work by Compton. I didn't know when I bought it that is was one of two, had I known I would have bought both.Rarely has there been a book that will draw the reader into it as this one and you will not regret the day you saw the title that will become one of the best books you've ever read.
