"A great story teller. The only thing I didn't like was all the boxing stories in a row against the mob. Still good though, I really like the Private Eye Kip. I still recommend this as Louis L'Amour really new how to write a story."

" I've always found Louis L'Amour's popularity bewildering. Thinking it due to my horsehit allergy, I gave this collection of his crime/sports stories a whirl. I remain bewildered; nothing but utterly undistnguished pulp fodder here. Perhaps America is insane. "

" Lots of stories, generally dealing with the Pacific Islands. Approximate dates for the stories are 1930's through 1950's. I found this compilation not as good as some of his others. "
