Not having read Westerns before this one, but having read the reviews, I've come to believe this is a classic Western. It was fun but occasionally became boring. Each time an action was held, the fighter had to choose which gun to use. Trust or the lack thereof was a prime consideration for a greenhorn to become a "hard-boiled gunfighter." Boy finds his legendary father, who never admits to being the boy's dad. When dad dies, boy promises revenge against family who taunted his father for 20-odd years. Does he accomplish that goal? That is the plot. The characters are well-drawn.Barbara Johnson, author of Behind the Black Robes: Failed Justice
