" I'm surprised at all the great reviews this book is getting. I had to stretch quite a bit to give it two stars. I gave it two stars only because some of the action was exciting, and Grey did get me to care about Lassiter and his quest for vengeance. However, I'm being generous. The story telling was pedestrian at best. The dialogue was so ridiculously melodramatic, it was all I could do to keep reading. The plot was filled with painfully obvious "mysteries" and fabulous coincidences that were painful to read. Simply not believable, nor well crafted enough to be called good literature. If all you want is a mindless western shoot-em-up (with a strange overwrought hatred of Mormons, by the way,) then this could be the book for you. That said, I'd suggest The Border Trilogy or The Oxbow Incident, if you want to read a western with some literary meat on its bones. "
