Western Pleasure,
By A Customer
This review is from: Ralph Compton the Shadow of a Noose (Mass Market Paperback)
This book was as good as all the outhers i have read by Ralph Compton. Mystery,adventer, and realism of what it was like to live in the mid 1800,s. I have lost count on just how many of his books i have read. But i have never been disapponted with any of them. Only wish he could write a lot faster. I have also read Death rides a chestnut mare. Can not wait for the third book to come out. Demon,s pass is also wounderful.

The Shadow of a Noose,
By Shirley Talley (Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ralph Compton the Shadow of a Noose (Mass Market Paperback)
I have read Death Rides a Chestnut Mare and have just finished The Shadow of a Noose. In reading these books with the description that Mr. Compton uses in his writings, I can visualize the canyons, the towns, the cattle drives and the shoot outs. I have read many books that really turn me off on the writer, however, I would highly recommend Ralph Compton's books to anyone. I rate him with Louis Lamour, who, in my opinin was one of the greatest western writers.

This review is from: Ralph Compton the Shadow of a Noose (Mass Market Paperback)
I am a Louis Lamour fan.. Ralph Compton is just as good.. I Have read "DEATH RIDES A CHESTNUT MARE" and "THE SHADOW OF A NOOSE".. I can't wait to get the third in the triology..
