[Barry · Rating 4 out of 5]

Difficult book to read and understand. Our young gunfighter is growing up. He still doesn't know where or what he wants; just to be or do something. Somehow, for a short time he becomes a ranch foreman. Within a short time, knowing absolutely nothing about what he was doing, he cleaned the problem up. Using his guns, which he loves and starts to hate but really loves. He is defined by his guns.

yes 5 stars, is it a great work? NO but it was a surprise to me. I guess you could call it a politicaly correct modern western. a very good book for a young person to read as their first western. I was surprised several times right up to the last page.
