"YeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeHa!" according to Tom McGee. If you are looking for fast paced thriller Western that you will not be able to put down, look no further. This is it! Enjoy!After reading "Shrink Rap," I just knew that I wanted to read more books by Robert B. Parker and I was not disappointed. This guy is a master story teller and talented writer!Appaloosa, also made into a move, is the first of a Western trilogy, followed by Resolution and Brimstone. Not realizing that, I read Brimstone first. I quickly downloaded "Resolution" and "Appaloosa" to my Kindle 2 reader and could not wait to get bac. See it at the Library Again, like my review of the movie, it is really 3 and one-half stars .This was the first Robert B. Parker book I've ever read cover to cover. Yes, despite all the Spenser books out there, I never read one, though I was a fan of the TV Show, Spenser for Hire. I obtained a used Hardback version.The book gives you some background into the two main characters the movie doesn't offer, the inner working of Everett's vision of the events. Without distraction, the book is what I would call a "fast read," that is you move along at a good pace, so it does. Better than I first thought: Better than I first thought: 4+ out of 5 Leo **EDIT**After watching the movie again (twice actually) and reading the book another time, I really rethought the review and the book in general. I have come to realize that this book has a lot going for it and it seems simple only on the surface. Once I reread this book I saw how amazing the story telling really was and I was shocked that I had missed the deep connection between Virgil and Everett through this type of dialogue.The style I thought was "simplistic" was really akin to an old timer sitting down after the turn of the century and tell. + out of 5 **EDIT**After watching the movie again (twice actually) and reading the book another time, I really rethought the review and the book in general.

The chief one is Virgil Cole, new marshal of the mining/ranching town of Appaloosa (probably in Colorado); his deputy is Everett Hitch, and it's Hitch who tells the tale, playing Watson to Cole's Holmes. A consummate pro, Parker never tells, always shows, through writing that's bone clean and through a superb transferal of the moral issues of his acclaimed mysteries (e.g., the importance of honor) to the western. It's been years since Parker has won a major literary award for a novel (he did collect a Grand Master trophy from MWA in 2002), but that may change with this stunning western, a serious contender for a Spur. This is one of Parker's finest. Agent, Helen Brann. (June).
