Duplibook Thrifters Book Club pick for the month of June.

It's a light, quick read that's simply meant to entertain and make you feel like you're in the Old West. It's accomplishes that and nothing else.

Everything happens “all of a sudden” (no joke, in 188 pages a variation of that is used 48 times), the characters are pretty flat, and the pacing is ALL over the place. It's full of cliché Western sayings, which I think is the main point of these books. It has some pretty ridiculous sentences such as, “... in the changing of days the seemingly changeless hills do also change” (pg 145). I couldn't help but laugh.

It was okay enough for what it was.
