5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite Novel of the Frontier West, February 12, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Brules (Audio Cassette)

This novel absorbed and transported me as few others of the genre have. Cat Brules is a simple, utterly uneducated, natively ingenious man who suffers extreme hardship and personal loss but continues to wage his wars, trying to overcome both the Comanches and his own devastation, and succeeding in ways he never expected. A professional critic I am certainly not, but an avid reader of many genres - this is in my top five favorite novels of any kind - ever. Read it (but read the unabridged version) and love it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brules is the best of the best, and he proves it., December 9, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Brules (Mass Market Paperback)

This is one of the best books that I have read about the old west. The detail that Mr. Combs puts into this book is just awsome. After you read this book you will want to go and saddle a horse, strap on you .38 Smith & Wesson, put your model 66 Winchester in its sheath and have your own adventures. If you like Louis L'amour's books then you will love Brules. He is the man that we all wish we could have been, in the time of history when survival of the fittest was the way of the land. This was a hard time that demanded hard men to tame the "wild west". What they got in Brules was one of the harderst and most dangerous men(when rialed) they could have imagined. Brules is one of the men that legends are made of. This IS the best western book that I have read and I highly recommend this book to any person who is fascinated about the time and people.
