Beyond the Great Snow Mountains

Rating:
Summary: Classic L'Amour
Review: Beyond the Great Snow Mountains is great reading, an enjoyable journey through a selection of tales. I received the book, along with the recent WWII novel, "The Triumph and the Glory", as birthday gifts, and greatly enjoyed them both. Each displays the style and grace of timeless writing, and themes that are so much more worthwhile than the hyped trash so many publishers offer us today.

Summary: Another treasure from L'Amour
Review: I agree with the reviewers who have praised BEYOND THE GREAT SNOW MOUNTAINS. It is classic Louis L'Amour. I also agree with the reviewer who loved THE TRIUMPH AND THE GLORY, a stunning new novel rich in the tradition of L'Amour at his best. He is loved so much because he is passionate about his writing and proclaims timeless themes of love, taking responsibility for oneself, and simple respect for others.

Summary: What a wonderful treat, L'amour fans don't miss this one.
Review: I am buried up to my nose in work but I had to come in and give my review on this one. These are great great stories, written by a man who believed in things he told you about and knows how to tell them good. I have not even completed the book, but oh man, it is so good... "By the waters of San Tadeo", "Beyond the great snow mountains", "Meeting at Fallmouth", "The money punch" and "The gravel Pit"...they will leave you to wonder at the versatile man who wrote them and the fact that he is known as a "great western writer" ? Western, my foot! He is a GREAT WRITER - Period ! And oh, for the fans of Jeffery Archer (I am one too) The Gravel Pit,The Money Punch and Meeting at Fallmouth will delight you for sure, although Louis always has his flavour in what ever he writes ( and I am glad of that) And for hard core louis fans - it has a Ward McQueen story too.

Summary: Vintage L'Amour that keeps on pleasing, great read!
Review: I started with Louis L'Amour when I was 13. I'm 50 now and he still gives me immense satisfaction. His books, all of them, grace my small home library and they are somewhat dog-eared from the many times I've re-read them. "Beyond" is a small compilation of short stories that are pure enterntainment and L'Amour at his best. He takes you to places you will probably never visit, introduces you to people and circumstances of intensity and all in the comfort of your favorite reading chair. I look forward to the promised release of several new works.

Summary: SOME EXCELLANT STORIES
Review: It has been some time since I read BEYOUND THE GREAT SNOW MOUNTAINS, but I checked to see what I wrote on the first page of the book, something I always do when I finish one. This is what I found " some excellant stories" to be excellant in my opinion a story (or book) must have a good plot, good characters and get to the end without losing the reader. These stories I will read again and again.

Summary: A mold Breaker
Review: This as a gift to a guy that reads EXCLUSIVELY WESTERNS because the giver thought that's what it was by the name of the writer. But danged if I didn't find these stories more of a treat than some westerns I'd read lately. Some of these writers do spread out to a dukes mixture don't they? Somebody said they thought Steven King or one of these other goresmiths was writing a western..? No doubt set at Tombstone or somewhere a lot of corpses can rezarrect...

Summary: Nice collection of short stories
Review: This book contains about a dozen adventure, western, and sports (boxing) stories. It is fairly typical L'Amour, but I have always been impressed with his short stories and this one was no exception. He even has a few mysteries the collection that were also fun to read -- a bit of a change of pace.

Worthy of picking up.
