Book Review of How the West Was Won

How the West Was Won
Grazona avatar reviewed on + 119 more book reviews


I read this book for my book club as a challenge to read a book from a genre I don't typically read. I had never read a western before. I was disappointed in this book, as far as my expectations for a western go. I was thinking there would be more adventure and not so much of a romance angle. What I liked least about this book was the structure of it. I wanted to know the story of Eve and Linus straight through, from beginning to end. Same with Lilith. I didn't like how I became interested in the characters and story line and then that part of the book was over abruptly and I didn't hear about that character until many years later and possibly just in passing. I did like how a lot of the action was buried in with other information.
