5.0 out of 5 stars It's Mine and I'll Fight to Get it Back, May 2, 2003

This review is from: Last Stand at Saber River (Mass Market Paperback)

Paul Cable survives the civil war to find out someone has taken over his little ranch. It takes all of his wit and ability, determination and guts to fight back so he and his family can finally live. Leonard is a great writer. The person who rated this poorly should open his eyes and mind when he reads.

Last Stand at Sabre River is a standard western in a good sense. A former confederate soldier returns to his ranch with his family to find it occupied by a North State supporter who do not intend to return it to the rightful owner. A range war is the result and evil powers see their chance to interfere for their own benefit. Elmore Leonard is a master storyteller. He keeps the plot simple and unaffected and his language is sort of dry and dusty which goes very well along with the story. I recommend all Leonards westerns along with this one.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not the best, April 9, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Last Stand at Saber River (Mass Market Paperback)

LS at SR is not Leonard's best. After reading Valdez and Hombre, I was disappointed that the dialogue was not as vivid as those two. Characters were a little generic too. In fact, you might call this one a little formulaic. Your typical western justice type novel.
