5.0 out of 5 stars
A powerful story of men at war,
By A Customer
This review is from: Last Reveille (Mass Market Paperback)
David Morrell has never faild to amaze me. This book is no exception. Based on the true turn-of-the century conflicts with Panco Villa, Last Reveillie tells the story of the American soldiers who were sent into Mexico to clash with Villa and his troops. I'll admit, I wasn't sure if I'd like this book, so I put it off for a long time. I wish I hadn't. Last Reveillie is a powerful story of men at war. Morrell blends his exceptional knowledge of history with a crystal clear prose to create a true American classic. The charracters are rich. The action is first rate. It left me begging for more. Those not interested in military history or stories of warfare should probably stay away. Those looking for an astonishing tale of loyalty, honor, and sacifice in the harshest of places can do no better.

Not your standard David Morrell,
By A Customer
This review is from: Last Reveille (Mass Market Paperback)
I'm such a David Morrell fan that I was eager to read another of his masterpieces. This wasn't it. Last Reveille is more of an historical musing - a departure from his usual action/adventure novels, but still interesting to someone like me, who never read much about this time period.

2.0 out of 5 stars
Rather tedious; poor style,
By A Customer
This review is from: Last Reveille: A Novel (Hardcover)
The stype of writing is tedious. Sentences go one and on and on, with a dozen or so commas in each. The author uses visual images instead of visual decriptives in his narration, which makes for a poorly written book. The author had a great idea, but he must first learn how to write so that he can display that great idea properly.
