Book Reviews of Ralph Compton The Killing Season

Book Review: A fair to middling good story
Summary: 4 Stars

I'm James Drury. I've just finished three novels by Ralph Compton in the last couple of weeks and this is one of them, so tonight I wanted to share with you my views on a rare writer that I think the world should be sad to have lost.

Ralph Compton kept his books clean and readable for anyone, and that is certainly a rarity these days. He kept the action moving, and if you don't mind some historical inaccuracies you will really like his books. As the previous reviewer indicated, just please don't take Mr. Compton seriously on a lot of his writing where historical figures are represented. He is not always true to facts. His gun leather and much of his detail about western dress is also erroneous, and these are my reasons for not giving this book a five star rating. Otherwise, it is very readable.

As an aside, I'm reading books on tape now by another author by the name of KIRBY JONAS, and I highly recommend that if you like Western novels you try him out. He has quickly become my favorite. And on his newer books, I am one of his proofreaders--so YES, I can vouch for his historical authenticity and beautiful writing style.
