Ce commentaire est de: Catlow: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)

"Catlow", by Louis L'Amour, is a story about two lifelong friends that took different paths. Bijah Catlow sided with outlaws and Ben Cowan sided with the law. Both work for opposing motives, but still respect each other. Catlow plans to lead a band of outlaws into Mexico to steal a hoard of gold and silver bullion, and Cowan does his part to make sure that it doesn't happen.

This book has action, gunfights, vivid descriptions of the landscapes, suspense, and some romance. Those familiar with Louis L'Amour's writing will find that this book meets their expectations in high quality western stories that they have come to know.

3.0 out of 5 stars Just Average for Louis Lamour's standard., Dec 16 2002

I admit it is hard to go wrong with such and awesome writer as Louis Lamour, and I wouldn't even say that you are wrong with this book, but in comparison to his much greater works, you could say that you should save Catlow for some other day. It is a decent exposition of two good friends who gravitate to opposite ends of the law, which makes it interesting, and I must say it did have a good ending. But overall, it seemed to go by pretty slowly and dull at times.

5.0 out of 5 stars Catlow is an exellent book, full of never ending action., Oct 4 1999

Ce commentaire est de: Catlow: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)

Catlow is an exellent book that is full of action.The lesson that the characters learned was that it is important to persevere through hard times. The minus to this is that people with the wrong motives can suceed with what they are attempting to do. If the"bad" percever more than the "good" people they can perscervere even if the "good" people are trying to stop them and reach thier goals.Catlow is an ecelllent book for pleasure reading.
