Well illustrated, interesting but disappointing,

This review is from: Bad Men: Outlaws & Gunfighters of the Wild West (Paperback)
Similar to Bell's other books, the format of this book is a chronological listing of events in the old west. In this case they are events about outlaws. This style of writing makes it easy to read from start to finish or allows one to jump around from section to section without missing anything. While I like this format in some ways, I wish the book had more "meat" to it. The information is often nothing more than a date and a one or two sentence description of the event that occured on that date. I would have enjoyed the book much more, a learned more, had the author chosen to provide more in depth information. In addition to the text, the book contain numerous photos and drawings. From a design standpoint it is very well done. If you're fan of the old west and would like a good resource on the dates of various events then you will appreciate this book. If you are not that familiar with this era, and want to learn more, then this book may disappoint you. |
