Follow The Stone (an Emmett Love Western) (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
I could appreciate this entertaining tale, but it really was not my cup of tea. I love a good Western but this was more of a parody of a Western--noir Western, I believe they are called. The hero was kind of cool but some of the sillier stuff in the story just left me cold. I didn't hate it and can say that overall I enjoyed reading this book but I just couldn't get into the spirit of the thing. I must confess, I have never liked western novels. I have honestly tried to like them. When all of my friends have given me their hand-me-down books and I have promised to read them, I got maybe a chapter or so into them before putting it down, or more than usual, I would just fall asleep. After devouring the Donovan Creed books by John Locke and falling in love with his fast, funny, unpredictable style of writing, I thought I would give the genre one more try. I am so glad I did! This is not my grandpa's western. Emmett Love's character is so much fun, so unpredictable and the plot so original I found myself not wanting to put the book down. This is the old west as I never could have imagined. What a fun read! All I know is that I cannot wait for the next adventure of Emmett Love and Gentry and I am so glad that John Locke has invited us into his new western world, as well as my old favorite of Donovan Creed. Cheers to you Mr. Locke, well done once again!!
