Summary: A Great Sackett book
Review: Another book in the great sackett series! Not only is this book great for the story of Echo SAckett and her traveling adventures, but it also provides a link between the books on the foundation of the Sackett family and their later exploits further west. A great read as are all of the sackett series,

Summary: Fifth of the series. Strong female character
Review: Echo Sackett is one of the few women mentioned of the family. She is young, but she is a better shot than her brothers. Echo is also a strong female character who still aspires to be ladylike and not masculized. But she still knows to "expect Higginses" when she finds she is due an inheritance and travels alone to retrieve it. Fortunately, being a woman is an advantage in a world of men who will underestimate her abilities. I admire L'Amour for writing such a strong, young female character. Girls may become interested in reading westerns after their introduction to Echo Sackett.

Summary: "Best Book I've Read"
Review: I am 13 years old and I have never really liked reading books. But after reading Louis L'amour's "Ride the River" I am now interested in reading more. My goal is to read all the Sackkett novels. I have fell in love with this book, and it has shown me the joy of reading.

Summary: Girls Rule!
Review: I had this book recommended to me by a friend from school and I enjoyed it thoroughly, I did not regret for a moment having borrowed it. I liked this book because in it Echo Sackett could actually do things for herself. She didn't run around screaming and crying for help like women usually do in westrens (in most of the ones I've read anyhow). This was one of those great books where the woman stands up for herself instead of hiding behind some man looking for protection

Summary: A strong woman, but not a bull-headed one
Review: I loved this book because, first of all it was a Sackett book and second it was about one of the few mentioned Sackett women. Echo is young , but not too young to realize when someone is trying to pull the wool over her eyes. Dorian Chantry is just the type of man she needs, not too controlling, and Oh so cute. I loved it so much that I read it in about three hours one night then about five times since. It's one of my favorite L'amour books. Read it!!

Summary: Ride the River
Review: The book Doesn't lack for action and it is a well written book. The one thing they could of done to make it better than it is. Was have men or a man do the male readings for the book. Miss Rose did a very good job with the female parts but was lacking when it came to the male parts in the book.

Summary: WESTERN WIMMEN CAN'T BE WHUPPED
Review: The preeminent storyteller of the American West, Louis L'Amour, was the first novelist to receive the Congressional Gold Medal in honor of his life's work. To date, some 280 million copies of his books are in print. Nor did his death in 1998 diminish his appeal as is seen with this tale of the Sacketts, a pioneer family. With earthiness, grit and humor Jamie Rose brings young Echo Sackett to robust life as Echo sets out to prove that she can outwit, out shoot and out maneuver those who would deprive her of her rightful inheritance.

Summary: Not trying to diss a woman hero...but
Review: This one is, in my opinion, probably the weakest Sackett story so far. I admitt I am new to Louis Lamour (relatively). I have read 9 of his books so far and I enjoy them very much and continue to read more. The Sackett series are a special lot but I was not overly excited about this particular one. It is worth reading, I guess, like any other Louis Lamour, but I would put this one off because there are many more exciting ones than this.
Still a Lamour fan
