verity83Book 49: The First Fast Draw, Louis L'Amour. 156pp
It may be a while before it actually sinks in that I of all people actually just read a WESTERN NOVEL.
Seriously. This is ME we are talking about here.
It took me a while to get into it and adjust to the odd cadence of the narrator's voice, but by the time I got to the third chapter or so I stopped noticing that so much and was able to better focus on the story itself.
It was nice and fast-paced, did not waste time with unwieldy narrative, and while certain parts of it were predictable, there was enough that wasn't to keep me from feeling completely cheated of an hour of my life.
On the whole, not a bad read. I would like to read a couple more of his books before I really form an opinion.
