The Far Canyon

Rating:
Summary: Another great one
Review: Personally, I liked the Far Canyon. Anything Kelton writes is ahead of the game. It far outweighs most writers in the genre, and in my opinion most writers in ANY genre. The only person who can rival Kelton is Kirby Jonas, The New Louis L'Amour, but they both have their niche. Jonas is best at description, but Kelton just has such a real, experienced feel. The only way for full satisfaction is to read them both. Great book!

Review: This sequel to Slaughter is a good story, but it wraps up too many loose ends too quickly. There is good action, but it happens too fast and is too predictable. It is very well written, like all of Kelton's novels, and is an accurate description of the climate and environment of South-Central and West Texas. It is also an accurate description of the hard work needed to survive on the high plains and panhandle of Texas and in the post-Civil War South. Poor plot but good description of Texas at that time an the environment of West Texas.
