Book Reviews of The Shopkeeper
Book Review: Good read for those who like old-fashioned westerns.
Summary: 3 Stars
I love westerns and all the five star reviews had me excited about reading this book. I will say this - the book is fast-paced with lots of action. And the first few chapters are excellent with several great surprises.
But ultimately the convoluted plot left me shaking my head. Too many of the plot-twists just did not ring true to me. There also seemed to be too many western stereotypes here with paper-thin characters. (Although I give the author credit for his female characters who are more fully developed than most of his male characters.)
All in all, a pleasant read but not much more. Still, recommended for those who like old-fashioned westerns.
