Killoe: A Novel Paperback – April 1, 1982

It had Lots of action and a good story line. It was Worth the read and was entertaining for a short book.

It's a different type spoken in the first person. I enjoy when a book is written like this. The sheer adventure of the book is undeniable.

I usually don't rate or review Louis L'Amour Books. Not because I don't like them -- to the contrary. I have never read one that I didn't enjoy. For me, they are entertaining, escapist fiction, with a little history, romance, and Americana thrown in. It's just that, for me it's hard to differentiate them. They are all fun to read, I know what I'm getting, and I look forward to a new (for me) one, as I haven't yet read them all. But, sooner or later I will.So, in that context I usually give them 5 stars, because they are what they are. So why 4 stars for this one? Well it was good, readable, etc., except I think it ended about 20 pages too soon. The romantic thread wasn't resolved and the "eye on the glorious future" language missing. Still a good, fun, read. Just not as satisfying an ending as usual.

As always Louis L’Amour has written an exciting tale, full of action and danger. His stories have a way of bringing the old west to life, putting a reader right inside the era. Hollywood, who turned many of L’Amour’s stories into movies has a tendency to gloss over the very real hardships endured by our ancestors. No one goes hungry in a Hollywood movie, but they did in the real west and L’AMOUR portrays this.

I've read quite a few Louis Lamour novels over the past couple of years. And I always think, what can he do to make this one different and interesting--it's people crossing the desert & plains, looking for a new & better life--like so many other stories. But he always finds new twists & turns, and I love how he does it.

I have been reading Louis L'Amour stories for the last 20 years and I never have grown tired of themI haven't been able to find another writer that can tell a story as well as Louis L'Amour.

Like every L’Amour novel it’s a different locale but true to the Nth and the story just keeps pulling you in.

The first 50 or 60 pages are slow and lumbering which I find of many L'Amour novels.Then things pick up with a terrific story line and character development so typical of the author.The ending for me seemed rushed while not unfullfilling it still left with me a feeling thereshould be more. Almost seemed as if the novel was left unfinished and the ending wasquickly attached to complete the rather short novel of 173 pages.

99 percent of L'Amour' books are top quality western ,frontier , reading

I liked this one. Cattle drives are difficult at the best of times but if you throw in discord in the ranks, raiding Indians, banditos and waterless terrain the task becomes near impossible. Fortunately Dan is the man. Action and adventure with L'amour's trademark romance angle. Reading westerns and learning just how hard people in the 1800s had to work to achieve anything leaves me grateful to have been born in a time of machinery and automation.

I was thoroughly fascinating of the description on all detail of his different situation. I would advise anybody who was birth in western US/Canada

This book was fine. A lot of conflicting info. He knew the rage was dangerous that Welles within him buy prior to that had never felt hatred. A couple loose ends in conclusion. Not Louis most formidable work for what I paid for this book. Two of the characters had names starting with Z who were easy to mix up.

Great story, draws you in and keeps you in till the very last page. I couldn't put it down and I regret, now that i have finished it, that i have.
