Hitch

I thought this book was very interesting
It follows his life traveling. The people he meets and he gets married. I like his way of taking care of the bad guys. I like the way he looks at things. I also like the people he chooses for friends. This book shows you how things were back in those days. I think you would like this book I know I did. Rodney Turner has a good western voice.

Not much plot but likable characters.

Clean western.

Comes off like a very long Intro to another a story.

Boring and implausible.

It was a very boring and unrealistic story. There was very little plot development and the story is simplistic. Don't buy it.
