Review: Van Holt Does It Again!
Rating: 4 out of 5

You'd think after reading four or five of these, I'd be getting tired of Van Holt's writing style, but it continues to entertain me and bring me back for more. Six Gun Man wasn't my favorite of his books, but it still had that edgy, authentic feel where nothing ever seems out of place or anachronistic. I find that so many Western authors slip or don't maintain consistency in the speech or the general tone/aura of the book. Van Holt takes care of every detail and makes sure that the reader is completely immersed not only in the world of the book, but also the characters that populate it.He continues to create unique and memorable characters in every single book I've read. The heroes tend to be moody, withdrawn, loners with good hearts, but the peripheral and supporting players are what really make his stories come alive. They are rough around the edges, to say the least, and have that "love to hate" quality about them that makes you silently root for the good guys from the very first page. I could ramble on all day about Van Holt's work, but the bottom line is simple - these are easy, quick, and wildly enjoyable reads - pick one up and find out for yourself!
