I'm not sure what made me sample a few of Louis L'Amour's short story collections on my Kindle. I was surprised to find his stories compelling and so picked up this collection via Paperback Swap. He has a talent for making you speed to the end of the story even when you're fairly sure you know what will happen ... because you're only fairly sure and often he flips the story just a bit on you.

FINAL
I am now officially a fan of Louis L'Amour's short stories. Eventually I will try a novel but for now I have another short story collection on my stacks, so that will come first, although probably in 2012
