2.0 out of 5 stars
Dry and shallow,
This review is from: Dakota (Mass Market Paperback)
Matt Braun is my favorite western author. His ability to bring the likes of John Hardin and Dr. Holiday back to life within the pages of his books is amazing. It is/was in that spirit I ordered this book.
Dakota is about the time Theodore Roosevelt spent in the Dakota territory after the death of his first wife, the conflict between Roosevelt and De Mores and several incidents that occurred the Dakota's that would help form the man Roosevelt became latter in life. In short a time period that was full potential, adventure and historically available documentation. There was so much that Matt Braun could have done with this. Yet Roosevelt comes across as a caricature. He is never fully fleshed out nor was I ever even remotely drawn in to the man's being. It is a sad thing that Mr. Braun was not able to bring Theodore Roosevelt to life as he had done with other characters. |
