5.0 out of 5 stars
Mighty Fun, and Mighty Unusual, too., July 10, 2005
This review is from: Broke Loose (Mass Market Paperback)
This was the very first of any books by Robert J. Conley that I'd ever read....and it left me wanting to read more of his work. Conley's writing is a real treat for the reader...and his work will surprise you often, and maybe even shock you now and then. If you only read traditional Westerns, and can't handle a stiff dose of reality in your books, then Robert J. Conley's work probably isn't for you. But if you're like me, and you love good Western novels, and if you are open minded and appreciate excellent writing...by all means, do yourself a big favor and check out Broke Loose....or any of Conley's books. Luckily for us, he published close to 30 Western novels.
I just finished reading another of his books, Strange Company, and it was so good I simply could not put it down....read it from cover to cover at one long, fun, sitting....and no surprise...it was fantastic. Seriously, I read a ton of Westerns, am a big fan of Louis L'Amour, Johnny Boggs, Rick Steber, Roland Cheek, Larry McMurtry, and Ralph Compton and Ralph Cotton...but hey, honestly, Robert Jackson Conley can hang with the best of them....he's that good, and then some. Check out Broke Loose, or any of Conley's novels....I just love it when I find a (new to me) author whose work I really enjoy, and this is one flat out marvelous discovery!
