Book Reviews of A Gathering of Old Men

Book Review: Good exposition, poor ending
Summary: 4 Stars

I believe that this book was well written. I enjoyed the book until the end of the book when the shootout begins. I think that Mr.. Gaines rushed too many events into the short ending. This book is by a far a great one, but I believe more time could have been spent on the ending.
