Review: Starts cute, then gets ugly, overall a cool adventure with shallow prose

Racing at a million miles per hour, Bullets for a Ballot introduces Cash Laramie, a quick-thinking, shooting, slow loving kinda guy (never before scene in westerns right?) who gets involved in an upstanding lady who is embroiled in a violent conspiracy for mayorship of the town/state.The story starts rather cutesy with Cash making friends and enemies both and throwing bullets around like charity money.Towards the end things start to become more intense, violence, sex, death of unexpected characters.Altogether Bullets is a reasonably fun ride, the shallow plotting and prose leaves little to remember. Luckily at short story length one does not feel a lasting impression of wasting life devoted to the book.
