3.0 out of 5 stars Good book, July 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Savage Land (Mass Market Paperback)

This book was overall a good book, but certainly has room for improvement. More gunfights would make it a more fast-paced book. But an applaude goes out to Matt Braun.

This review is from: The Savage Land (Paperback)

This book is not as good as other Matt Braun books I have read. Print Oliver comes back from the Civil War. His father has gone downn health. His brothers have all grown up. He, as the oldest is appointed head of the family. He sets out to make the ranch prosper once again. The rest of the book is their story with the villian being Cal Nutt, a carpetbagger. Nutt trys everything he can to get the Olivers to leave the country. Can he make them go? With the four brothers, at least part of the four, fighting back, will they stay. Who gets killed?? I think the first part of the book and the last part were good. So much of the middle was page after page of somebodys thought. I thought I was reading a history book. Thats fine if that is what you like but I don't buy westerns for that.
