Summary: Kilkenny--top notch afternoon's read
Review: Howdy folks--James Drury here. You might remember me from TV's the Virginian. I've done some other reviews on some of Louis L'Amour's stuff, and I don't know if these ever get used, but I wanted to say I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I've been reading Kirby Jonas's Westerns on audio tape lately and have enjoyed them so thoroughly because, frankly, they reminded me of Louis L'Amour's style. Kirby admits he grew up on Louis L'Amour, so I guess that explains it. And by the way, if you run out of Louis L'Amours and want to give someone else a shot, try one of Kirby's. You won't regret it. But back to Kilkenny, it is a fast-paced surefire way to get your afternoon, evening, or even your morning in gear, and a thoroughly entertaining way to spend an afternoon on a deer stand!

Summary: Classic western storytelling
Review: It's not my favorite L'Amour book, but in many ways the protagonist of the book, Lance Kilkenny, is the archetypal L'Amour character: the solitary, humble, cultured, yet fiercely barbaric gunfighter-warrior "who understands weapons better than women and understands women quite well." For a better Lance Kilkenny novel, try "The Mountain Valley War."
