"Sparse concise narrative within a very good story. This is one of the few novels I've read twice - 1954 & 2008; just enjoyable the second time around. The John Wayne movie isn't bad either. "

" I enjoyed this book. A tough loner finds a woman and saves her and her son from the Apache's. Too bad his dog had to die. "
— Jake, 5/6/2011 -
" "Hondo" did not disappoint. I expected a dated, romanticized, somewhat corny yarn, with enough action and Apache factoids to keep it interesting. That's exactly what it is. "
— Paul, 2/14/2011 -
" A fine Read! L'Amour at his best! "
— Matt, 2/13/2011 -
" Civil War, Army guide, desert survival, historical fiction. "
— Diane, 1/16/2011 -
" This is a novel length version of a short story, and is even better. You get to know the main characters. Plus, I've always admired L'Amours' portrayal of Native Americans as real people. They're neither villains nor victims, just people who were very different from Europeans. "
— Livia, 12/29/2010 -
" Better than the movie, although the movie's pretty good "
— Mackay, 12/9/2010 -
" A classic and one of the best. "
— Jeff, 11/25/2010 -
" I love Louis L'Amour, anything he writes. He brings the old west alive. "
— Billie, 11/4/2010 -
" It's hard to find real men like Hondo these days. "
— Meredith, 8/27/2010 -
" Read for my genre class. Strong silent Hondo Lane meets the beautiful and independent Angie Lowe in the Arizona desert. Together with her son Johnny they withstand Apache uprisings and the evils of man. Hondo is part western, part romance, and all action. "
— Lillian, 7/31/2010 -
" If you liked Lonesome Dove, you will enjoy L'Amour's writing too. This is a great story about cowboys, Indians and how they all got along. "
— Annie, 7/7/2010 -
" I don't generally listen to westerns but this was perfect for a long car drive to Durango, CO. "
