Rating:  Summary: A decent read, but a bit monochromatic Review: A typical L'Amour book - a dashing, trustworthy protagonist, just trying to live in peace but able to defend himself if and when necessary. Jubal Sackett is loved and trusted by all except the villains, who themselves have absolutely no redeeming qualities at all. In other words, the characters are very flat and monochromatic, and as a result, they come across as very artificial.One thing you have to hand to L'Amour, though - he writes book easily read in an evening.

Rating:  Summary: One of Lamour's better books Review: I have yet to read many of his books, but I must say that all of Lamour's books are great. Jubal Sackett is a special character. I appreciate that Lamour spent more time on this book (or at least made it longer than usual) in order to give us a full scope of Jubal's transcending years in his migration to the west. The Sacketts are successful because they are well learned in many a trade and they don't take things for granted. They nurture their friendships when they can and comfront their enemies just as readily. You feel this story, you root for the characters and you feel as though you are among them. I guess this is more of a mountain man book than a western, but it still sets the setting for the Sackett's pushing west. A great book.
Rating:  Summary: One of my favorite of the Sackett Series. Review: I read this 3 years ago and I still remember how great it was. The way L'Amour describes the landscape in details and makes his characters so likeable. One reason I love this book is the way he talks about freedom in the west. Everything was so new to Jubal and he had such a respect for the land and the Indians. I am still reading the Sackett series and this one stands out as one of the great ones. A great place to start the series and then work your way back.

Rating:  Summary: Whirlwind of Words Review: Jubal Sackett was always one of my top 5 favorite books because of it's humanly unimaginable whirlwind of words that puts you the closest to actually being there. I read the detailed 341 page book in only three days and after it was finished I felt as if I had just learned to speak a new language. It seems to be a sketch with words used as lines and the final picture is simply a detailed masterpiece of understanding human behavior.
Rating:  Summary: Even those who are not western novel readers, will love it. Review: Louis L'amour has crossed the line, and written a western novel, that anyone who reads will love. The story of a proud, and determined American pioneer. I wasn't able to put the book down until finished. The surprise ending gives one last burst of excitement, just when you thought it was over. A must read.
Rating:  Summary: Thrilling listening -- a "must" for all Louis L'Amour fans. Review: The unabridged presentation of Louis L'Amour's Jubal Sackett will thrill listeners of Westerns: a wilderness explorer crosses a savage continent to become a legend among Indian tribes as a powerful medicine man. The story has many involving twists and turns.
Rating:  Summary: great audio book Review: This by far is the best audio book Ive listened to. The guy reading the story has an accent that fits the story perfectly. While this is a lengthy book it is never boring The pacing is perfect and the story itself is riviting. Do yourself a favor and get this on audio. You will not be dissappionted
