1.0 out of 5 stars
Dumbest story I've ever read, June 13, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Snake River (Rivers West, Book 7) (Paperback)
This book rates a "1" because .2 was not an option on Amazon's scale.
The book's title is a misnomer leading to great disappointment for anyone hoping to read about the Snake River. Billed as "historical novel," these words rely on name dropping of only two historical figures as very minor characters in this story.
Missing a great opportunity to tell of dangers and adventures (geographic, social and political) faced by pioneers traversing the Oregon Trail, the author studiously avoided anything exciting and/or intellectual.
Stuffed with comic-book cliches, and romances with predictable misunderstandings and resolutions the reader is caused to discard this writing as the work of a frustrated student of English 101 who prays the prof. will at least count the number of words as worthy of a "C".
This is a real page-burner.
