" A few good stories, but I guess I do not like short stories. They can only develop one or two characters, and not very much, then it is over. Did not finish <br/> "

" Another collection where L'amour tries to branch out from his Western niche, but you can dress up the cowboy in shorts and a Hawaiian shirt, but he still walks like a cowboy. "

" Sorta random and I didn't really see the point, but it was an ok read. "
