Ilustration As Books Comstock Lode

I remembered this as one of my favorite L'Amour stories. It follows a number of settlers on their way west & the growth of a mining town over the course of a decade. That's really interesting, although fairly scanty. A lot of tidbits & half stories such as the mention of the Pony Express. It briefly served the town, but L'Amour makes it sound as if telegraph lines coming in put an end to the service. There's no mention that it only existed for less than 2 years or the trains that replaced it. Still, it makes some important points & shows something of the life they experienced.

The characters weren't very good. Overblown or caricatures, never much nuance, & predictable, gooey romance with a lot of repetition. While the narrator was good, I've always read L'Amour in paperbacks that allowed me to skim. No such ability in this format & it grew tiresome. I think I'll stick to memories & paperbacks from now on.

This edition had a 1982 interview with L'Amour tacked on to the end & it was interesting, although I recommend reading Education of a Wandering Man for a lot more detail. If you're a L'Amour fan, I highly recommend it.

Judgment Out Of Books Comstock Lode

This was the first Louis L'Amour book that I ever read. It was high time to reread it. I've read all the others at least twice. His books fall into two categories for me: the One Nighter (like popcorn) and the Three Nighter. This was a Three Nighter. Actually, I took it backpacking with me because I knew that it would hold my attention, and it didn't weigh much. This is a very typical LL book with good action and lots of his philosophy. This one focused on being a solid man who takes care of

Ive read almost 40 of Louiss books in the last couple years or so, including all the Sackett books, and this is easily one of the best Ive read. Some of the content is a little darker and tougher than is typical of Louis, but the story is pitched perfectly. Its also longer than his average, but oh so hard to put down.

One of those books that starts off a bit slow, but by the end, you wish it could keep on going because you are enjoying it so much.

This is my third Louis LAmour book. I first read Lonesome Gods 15 years ago for an assignment. Next was Education of a Wandering Man which I loved! It is a classic and a favorite of self-educators and free thinkers. The only reason I picked up this third Louis LAmour book is because he is my fathers favorite author, and because I just visited Virginia City. My father told me to read this book, as it was all about the silver mining and the beginnings of Virginia City. (This place is also the old

This novel started really well and I was getting into it a lot. Then it's like L'Amour just gave up. The main character lost all of his definition and all of the traits that made him a strong character. It was almost like the beginning of the book and the rest of the book were written by two different people.

A modest epic of revenge. Superior outdoor action. Not to mention lots of fascinating mine lore.

Most of L'Amour's westerns were short and to the point. This one is almost 500 pages and just drags on and on. It was written in '81 and he must have thought that longer was better. Way too much reflection and repetition by the main characters.Decent story, but he should have stuck to the format that made him what he was, quick and interesting reads.
