Review: Connolly's Woman

Connolly's Woman by Harry Whittington
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A wild one, even for a Gold Medal. Charlie Wilson, a Korean War vet and prisoner of war with memory problems, finds himself dissatisfied with his domesticated life, and in a series of ill advised moves, first locks himself into a bedroom with a mysterious young woman at a party, which sets his wife into a jealous rage. He then takes off on an insane treasure hunt boat adventure with a psychotic fellow Korean War prisoner and his trampy, sexy girlfriend. Everything goes to hell in a hurry and it's no surprise when the mysterious party woman reappears at the worst possible time. A real page turner, wonderfully crazy and sleazy, and highly recommended.

Review: 52 Weeks, 52 Western Novels: Old Favorites and New Discoveries

52 Weeks, 52 Western Novels: Old Favorites and New Discoveries by Scott Harris
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

It's not really accurate to say that I've finished it. I've read it chunks of it multiple times and continue to refer back to it when I come across a book or author that I know is mentioned in the book, or if I'm in the mood to seek out something new. Anyway, it's a superb reference book with 52 terrific reviews of Western novels from a collection of Western fans and authors. Some of the books are quite popular, others very obscure. Pictures of book covers make up a large portion of the book, and since I love paperback cover artwork this is one of my favorite aspects. Highly recommended for anyone with an interest in Westerns, a genre that is sometimes overlooked, but includes some of the best and most exciting fiction of the past century.
