Take Advantage Of Forty Times A Killer! : A Novel Of John Wesley Hardin (Bad Men Of The West, #1) Authored By William W. Johnstone Displayed As Print

would give itif I could, Exceptional Interesting read about a notorious, known gunman in Texas, It was a little different, but interesting, Pure Western Entertainment!

This is pure western entertainment at its finest, Once again William W. Johnstone does not disappoint at all, I'm totally looking forward to reading the second book in this series!!! colorful politically incorrect and entertaining history Well written with well rounded characters, this was a good read.
Little Bit the narrator was an intriguing character, his friendship with JWH was, . without spoilers, a thing to behold, I like the style of historical fact, mixed in with some of the author's flare for fiction, I'm still wishywashy on how I feel overall after reading this, as Hardin's character was a hard man to read, Another well descriptive book from the Johnstones, Hardins companion “littlebit” tells thekillings by Hardin, Littlebit is a small cripple, He not only describes Hardin fromto his death, but also describes in the book events how he was treated by others during this period after the

civil war.
Fascinating read. A little bloody and graphic for me, but likely a close recreation of the violence and lawlessness that was the settling of the west.
If you like westerns you will love this one, First he became a killer, Then he became a legend, John Wesley Hardin was fifteen when he killed his first man, Before his murderous ways ended, he'd killed fortytwo men in cold blood one, the legend goes, for snoring, From then on, Hardin stayed true to his calling, living a fever dream of lightning fast draws and flying lead, By seventeen, Hardin had a deadly reputation for killing that drew traitors, backstabbers, and wannabe gunslingers all for a chance to gun down the man who had turned killing into an allAmerican legend.
By way of background, I do not typically read westerns, This one caught my eye and I'm glad it did, The author provides no cover for what he's doing here, much to the chagrin of some, myself included, but it appears he has chosen a fictional companion to spin tales around actual events in the life of Hardin.
He does so in quite an entertaining fashion, The story reads as a series of episodes in Hardin's life, I'll never know how much is fact and how much fiction, but it was a purty good tale, and I enjoyed the setting, the rhetoric, and learning a touch about the old west.
Western genre is not my cup of tea, Repetitive, overly simplistic, predictable, filled with overused sayings, no real plot, With its writing style, the whole thing reminds me of a cheap Harlequin romance, Popular but utterly boring.
