Once Upon a Time in the West is my all-time favourite film. You’ve sold it to me. Great review.

I like the way you compared the book to movies. I am sure fans of the cowboy genre will enjoy this book. Thanks for the excellent review!

John Slade must have some courage to be a Texas Ranger and hunt down his wife's killers. Sometimes, a western cowboy-style book filled with action and thrill may be the one to take some time and read. Thanks for your thorough review.

You got me when you mentioned 'unpredictable storyline' but then knowing that this book is with cliffhanger ending is my turn off because it feels like playing with my heart and I hate it; unless if this book is in series. Thank you for such informative review but sadly I have to pass this one.

I quite enjoy dramas and movies set in the old West, but I'm not sure this would be a good fit for me, purely based on the story. Thanks for a great review :)

The Texas Rangers angle is appealing but the atrocities towards women are a turnoff for me. Thanks for the thorough review!

I'm not so into the cowboys or Texas Rangers so this might not be up my alley. But I agree it's truly unpredictable because I too, thought Lynn and Salade would get something going on along the line. I wonder what happened between 'em. Thanks for the review.

An action-packed western will surely please a certain audience. I like the way you referenced movies in your review. Due to the violent content, I will pass on this one. Great job on the review!
