The Scout was good, but not quite as good as Brules.,
By ran88ger@aol.com (California, U.S.A.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Scout (Paperback)
After Brules, which was spectacular, The Scout was somewhat of a let-down. It should have been a continuation of the magnificent Brules, but it was not. Harry Combs just didn't seem to write with the same flare. In parts I had to fight boredom, as the story became monotonous. It was just "Brules the soldier" for a long time. The Scout was good, but it just didn't seem like the the same book as Brules, which I thought it should have been.

Why was Bouyer there?,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Scout (Paperback)
While this book does not move with the pace of "Brules" it is, never-the-less an excellent story from start to finish. The part that I found interesting was why Mitch Bouyer chose to accompany Custer at the Little Big Horn. I have not read extensively about that battle, but have long wondered why, when Custer dismissed the scouts (Bouyer was the favorite scout), Bouyer chose to stay with Custer. Combs provides a credible scenario for Bouyer's role in the battle. Whether this is original research or not I do not know, but it fits well with what I have read.

After the climax of BRULES, this one is totally anti-climax!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Scout (Paperback)
This one is a totally bore! Mr. Combs lost his focus and digress himself from a once great hero, and made him into a boring soldier. The whole book is unreadable and bore to death! Don't waste your time to read it, unless you are trying to get some boring historical study of the early stages of US military strategies of how they kill so many Indians! Just read the BRULES we all rated a big 10! After finish it, if you like it, absolutely don't try to read this sequel, it will totally ruin your wonderful taste
