The Best of the West

This is a story that draws the reader into it with imagery, and grandness of scale that is seldom written. If you don't come to emotionally invest in each character, you have no soul. Every character is real and grabs your heart and your passion. You will think of these characters as real people and respond to them as if they were. This book is so character driven that it is hard to focus on a discussion of the fine plot development. This story unfolds neatly and doesn't play games to keep you reading. It is a page turner. Every page has excitement, trauma and drama, or action. It tells a good story and keeps telling it from the first page to the last. No literary tricks, just good story telling and characters you can grab on to.
