Adlibrand Noblesword's Hall of Warrior(ANHOW) Book Review

Here is my first short book review for this esteemed audience.

Your first question will be "Why are you wasting our time with this?"
I don't know, but I think it will be sort of fun.

Your second question will be "What kind of books do you read?"
All sorts. I am an eclectic reader. The voices in my head like a variety of reading materials.

Your third question will be "Can you tell me the Latitude and Longitude coordinates of Wake Island?"
No. And I don't even care.

So, w/out further ado, the first review of my (self)esteemed career:

Title: Gunman's Rhapsody
Author: Robert Parker
Length: 298 pages, hardback
Genre: Western

Normally, I love Robert Parker books (he created the Spenser character of the Spenser For Hire TV show of the 80s). However, Parker should stick to the gritty detective novels. The plotline is sketchy and at times hard to follow. It takes place in Tombstone, AZ and is the story or Wyatt Earp and the showdown at the OK Corral. Annoyingly, it does not even include the showdown, which is too bad because Parker is good at describing gunfight scenes.

Unfortunately, I have to give this book a grade of "D"
