Book Reviews of Leadville
Book Review: Leadville
Summary: 5 Stars
Buy the series so you can keep reading. A very interesting concept of making a new story of powerful men and putting it back into the old west. It's great summer reading.Book Review: Leadville
Summary: 1 Stars
OMG, how could anyone give this book a 5 star rating! I think all the reviews were written by friends of the author. There was absolutely nothing original in this story. The writing was very ordinary. It was like an old B movie TV Western. Actually the old TV Westerns were better. It wasn't even interesting enough to be a TV movie.Book Review: Liked
Summary: 4 Stars
I like his style of writing westerns -- kinda like Zane Grey. Recommend reading "Shopkeeper" first by James BestBook Review: Newfound western fan
Summary: 5 Stars
I had never been much of a fan of western novels, until a friend gave me a copy of "The Shopkeeper" by James Best. As soon as I heard that he had written a sequel, I quickly obtained a copy.
The author's style is such that he brings the characters to life, and pulls you into the story. It is easy to envision them and understand more about the old west. As mentioned above, I was not a fan of western novels, but have always been interested in history.
As somewhat of an amateur historian, I can tell you that Mr. Best has done his research. His novels contain details of what it was like to live at that time, and you find yourself almost a part of the story.
I would highly recommend these two westerns to anyone with an imagination and curiosity about the history of our country. And besides, they are just excellent reading.
Book Review: The wait was worth it
Summary: 5 Stars
Ever since I finished The Shopkeeper, I've been waiting for the next book in the series. Leadville didn't disappoint. It kept me up nights again. I not only got Steve Dancy, but all his friends were back. Again, awesome!
