Chip of the Flying U [Hardcover]

B. M. Bower (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: June 1975

He was hungry for a solitary ride such as had, before now, drawn much of the lonely ache out of his heart and keyed him up to the life which he must live and which chafed his spirit more than even he realized. Instead of such slender comfort, he was forced to ride beside the girl who had hurt him--so close that his knee sometimes brushed her horse-- and to listen to her friendly chatter and make answer, at times, with at least some show of civility.

This review is from: Chip, of the Flying U (Kindle Edition)

Is this a western with a romance in it, or a romance set in the west? I don't know, but it sure is a lot of fun! Even though I don't often read in either of those genres, I found it very entertaining, and look forward to reading more in the series.

I read the free Kindle edition, ASIN B000JQV3Q0 with a publication date of November 1, 2005. No formatting issues that I noticed. The original edition apparently had illustrations, which are not included. However it's not clear whether illustrations are included in the Kindle versions you need to pay for, either. In fact, the description for at least one fairly expensive paper reprint edition states that illustrations are not included. Until a paid version with illustrations is available, I'm perfectly content with this freebie.

This is a terrific escape book, one that deserves a "10" rating for its entertainment value. The characters are appealing, the language is incredibly clean by today's standards, and there is much laugh-aloud humor. "Chip of the Flying U" is tremendous fun!

This book is just a cute little book definately from a time gone by. Easier read than a Lamour, but still a pretty solid western, even by today's standards.
