4.0 out of 5 stars The Sackett clan rides to the rescue., Nov 10 2003

This review is from: The Sackett Brand (Paperback)

Somebody ambushed Tell Sackett and left him for dead. It takes more, however, than cowardly sidewinders to kill a Sackett. Even worse, Tell's wife is missing. After Tell determines that somebody of Lazy A ranch is guilty, he launches a one-man war against the cowboys. Word spreads of the conflict, and Sackett brothers and cousins come out of the sagebrush to even the odds.

Typical of Louis L'Amour, this novel is a quick hit of Western action. The Sackett tales stress family solidarity. L'Amour is adept at writing of the lure of distant trails, the freedom of the big sky country, and the Code of the West. He breathes new life and spirit into the usual elements of Western fiction. This is good downtime reading. Enjoy the ride. ;-)

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Tale of Justice and of Family Loyalty, April 20 2003

This is one of Louis' classics. In addition to being a great adventure read, it will definitely pull your strings in a lot of ways. It is at first sad (when the event that is the fulcrum of the plot occurs), and then eventually very uplifting and satisfying. Highly reccommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Sackett Brand to Me, Nov 12 2002

By

This review is from: The Sackett Brand (Paperback)

After reading this book and thinking back to it then I realize how much I really liked it. The main thing that I like about it so much was not the plot but how accurate the story was portrayed. The author did a great job of portraying how cowboys lived and felt back then. He showed the type of men they were and described in detail the way a man would go about things in the old west. This story had a great start that grabbed your attention and had suspence around every corner. It left you woundering what would happen next and if the main character would live or not. I enjoyed every part of the book except for one. The only chapter I did not like was the 9th because all it did was tell about the brothers of Sackett finding out what happened to him. Other than that borring chapter I would recomend this book to anyone that likes an old western adventure book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thumbs Up!
This has to be one of the best of Louis Lamour. What makes this one stand apart is that it is less predictable than his other novels, in that everyone doesn't end up riding away... Read more
