Doug Hocking’s Reviews > The Last Shootist > Status Update

I've been distracted with other books, so this is only preliminary. It is a good, solid read and well written. It picks up with the real ending of The Shootist; not the one in the movie, the one in the book. Gillum takes Books's guns and becomes a shootist. This poses much more interesting possibilities than the movie ending. The author, by the way, wrote the script for the movie.
