A review by maryrobinson
Appaloosa by Robert B. Parker
3.0
I loved Lonesome Dove so it was natural that I would enjoy this book as the relationship between the two heroes – Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch - is similar to that of Gus and Woodrow.
They are gunfighters, mostly on the right side of goodness and peace, who talk little and are effective in dealing with bad guys. I am clueless about Westerns and the actual history of the West, so I have no knowledge about the accuracy of this book or how Western genre-lovers would rate it. I am in it for the friendship / partnership between Virgil and Everett.
