Summary: Too Academic
Comment: I read this book for a class. If you're looking for this book as a casual read, I would recommend against it.

I found it more enjoyable than some of the other social history on the topic that I had to read. Still, I just couldn't get into it. It leans heavily toward an academic rather than a literary style.

Rating: 5
Summary: Great historical novel full of twists
Comment: I first heard of Greg Matthews in a Stephen King book (he mentions him in the introduction of "Nightmares & Dreamscapes), curious, I found "Power in the Blood" at a local used bookstore. This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. Full of twists and turns you never see coming as you read along. This book is brutal, funny, surprising and always engaging. I saw an earlier review that warns of not reading the synopsis that is on the book...GOOD ADVICE! All you need to know (if you must) is that it is about three orphaned siblings who go west. The book follows thier seperate lives as they each experience the American West. A great read.

Summary: Power In The Blood
Comment: It's been 5 years since I read this book and I still think about it often. Impossible to put down! I'm so happy I did not get rid of my copy as it is now out of print. I just ordered the sequel(?) from an out of print book service. I hope it is as good as the original!
