What Customers Say About The Collected Short Stories of Louis L'Amour: Unabridged Selections from the Crime Stories: Volume 6:
|

However, I didn't like the detective stories (this is where I stopped reading the book), which had predictable plots and no depth. The book is roughly divided into three categories: crime(overall I enjoyed these the most), "boxing", and detective stories. I read about 2/3 of the book and found some stories like "Anything for a Pal" to be great. Overall, I have always enjoyed L'Amour's westerns the best, and I would recommend to the L'Amour initiate short story collections such as "Riding for The Brand" or "Bowdrie's Law" instead. For long-time L'Amour fans such as myself, I would like to point out that all of these stories (to my knowledge) have been previously published, most of them early in L'Amour's career("Anything for a Pal" was L'Amour's first published story, featured in "True Gang Life" magazine in 1935).
excelent reading, like all his books, some are more interesting than others and this book is no exception. some of the stories are great and a couple are a little slow. overall the book it just what is says "the collected short stories of Louis L'Amour, volume 6, the crime stories.
I loved the few stories I have read so far. They are quick and smart. I thought Louis L'Amour was only a cowboy author.boy was I wrong.
The husband loves these book and the price was right. Purchase was fast and in excellent condition. Would buy again.
