Very good, but there are enough transcription errors in the Kindle .azw download that I had to stop for occasional interpretation.
This is a very entertaining book. I enjoyed the characters and the pace of the action was nice. I would recommend this to any cowboy/western book fans.
this book has colourful characters, the narration is simple yet vivid. pure adventure, face paced, romantic and brave heroes, cunny and astute villians. all the ingredients needed in a good western.
