Book Reviews of Monte Walsh
Book Review: best western ever written
Summary: 5 Stars
I live in New Mexico,and I find the lay of the land,true to life.The characters are very belevable.The character of Monte,and his best friend Chet,are so like people,I have known,It's as if Mr.Schaffer interviewed me for his book. The movie was pretty good too,although it seemed to me,they didn't use the book as reference,much. If you want a book you can't put down,you won't go wrong with this one.Book Review: one of the great westerns of all time
Summary: 5 Stars
true to life ,exciting storyline about a man who loved horses-the last of the horsemanBook Review: the best western novel ever
Summary: 5 Stars
One of the best novels I have ever read, with some of the best writing I've ever enjoyed. I simply disappeared between the covers of this book. Hilarious, heart-breaking and oh so real, this isn't just a story about a man, it's about a cowboy and the cowboying way of life, about a strict code and living up to it especially when it ain't easy, about the settling of the American West, and about the progress of civilization and what gets left behind. People like Monte exist anywhere there is a frontier, the loners who go out ahead of the rest of us. And when they're done, there is no place left for them.
Towards the end of this book I started thinking about Lazarus Long's saying: "When a place gets crowded enough to require ID's, social collapse is not far away. It is time to go elsewhere." Monte would have agreed.
And if you don't cry at the end of this book, you aren't human.
