Westward The Tide,
By CaseyB (Boise,Idaho) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Westward the Tide (Paperback)
I rated the book,Westward the Tide by Louie L'amour to get four stars.In the beginning, they used a great way of describing characters and built foreshadowing at first opportunity. I also enjoyed how they explained some important events durinmg that period, and the relationships between white men and Indians.When there were fights, they described what happened very clearly, and drew an almost perfect picture in my head. Halfway through the story, an Indian comes to a man, and explains the Indian's entire point of view of white men, and told what they are doing to the land. I thought this was very clever of L'amour, and it was helpful for anyone reading it to further undertstand that time period. The battles made the book exciting, but some parts of it lacked interest and were too boring.

One of my most favorite Louis L'Amour westerns!,
By Priscilla Stafford (Yokohama, Japan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Westward the Tide (Paperback)
Just one look at the beautiful and spirited Jacquine Coyle and Matt Bardoul knew that she was the woman for him. So when he finds out that she and her father and brother are planning to go on a wagon train, he decides to go along too. When he first learns about the wagon train heading for the rich pasture of the Big Horns and the gold which would be plentiful there, he finds nothing wrong. But soon he starts getting an uneasy feeling that something is definitely wrong. The wagon train would be made up of strong and innocent men and their families but they would be lead by a pack of the worst murderers, thieves, and gunslingers. Though Bardoul gets and urgently whispered message telling him not to go, he is still determined to go on the train because of Jacquine and the land at Big Horns. Bardoul doesn't realize that he is getting involved in a very deadly plot where the bad guys would stop at nothing to make sure everything goes according to their plans. Will Bardoul be able to figure out their plans before it's too late?I just love Louis L'Amour's westerns and "Westward the Tide" has got to be one of his bests ever! With plenty of intrigue, suspense, action, and romance, for any L'Amour fan this is a must read. One of the best things I like about this book are the characters which are portrayed. Characters like Matt Bardoul, Jacquine Coyle, Brian Coyle, Clive Massey, Buffalo Murphy, Logan Deane, Ban Hardy, Portugee Philips, and more, L'Amour wonderfully displays the different types of people who made up the American frontier. Other L'Amour books I highly recommend are: All of the Sackett books, including my most favorites, "Jubal Sackett" and "Galloway, "North to the Rails", "Broken Gun", "Crossfire Trail", and "Comstock Lode".

Westward The Tide,
This review is from: Westward the Tide (Paperback)
Westward The Tide is perhaps one of the best books written by L'Amour, while reading this book, I found it really hard to put it down. The gold, the girl, and the setting are perfect for alot of excitment and danger. If you are a Louis L'Amour fan and you haven't read this book I recommend it.
