The Bells of San Filipo,
By GrayTexan (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Bells of San Filipo (Paperback)
"The Bells of San Filipo" was my first Max Brand western, and what a treat. Just an absolutely wonderful tale. The story had all sorts of things going on and took numerous directions. The story begins with a prospector who leads a very simple, mundane life. But where it goes from there, and utimately leads the reader is a story you'll thoroughly enjoy.

A Classic Which, Quite Simply, Defies Description!,
By
This review is from: The Bells of San Filipo (Paperback)
Is there a western writer alive today who can do as much with the western as Max Brand did 80 years ago? I'd have to say no. The Bells Of San Filipo simply defies description. It begins with a hapless prospector who stumbles upon an ancient cache of silver and then... the book takes turns and twists the reader cannot even guess at. Shakespearean scope, myths, criminals conspiring, gang wars... in a book of 200+ pages. Picking up a Brand western is always something special but, every now and then, he tosses a tale at you that just makes you read in awe of his imagination. If you like the unconventional, Brand is for you. The Bells of San Filipo is something very, very different. And very, very good.
