Have to confess, I liked the miniseries, but couldn't make it through the book. Robert Parker has been doing some Western writing recently -- I read one a couple months ago that was fun. (Can't remember the title, I'm sorry...) And I think people will enjoy "The Shopkeeper," by James Best, which is a <a href="http://Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12553309379795237911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38656633.post-27183018830176901442009-06-21T23:40:13.432-05:002009-06-21T23:40:13.432-05:00Nina Vida offered me to send this book for me to r...Nina Vida offered me to send this book for me to read and review despite the fact that I live in India.<br /><br />I received it the day before.
