Some people (mostly, I think of the type of snobs for whom almost any other kind of writing is better than fantasy) profess to believe that Howard's Texan tall tales about Brekinridge Elkins are superior to his Conan stories. I would not go that far,but they are often good fun. Elkins is a cheerful, immensely strong and not over-bright young man from the Humboldt Mountains, as much a hillbilly as a cowboy, ready to fight or frolic at the drop of a six-shooter. ( ) Robert E. Howard wrote both a novella and a short western story titled "A Gent From Bear Creek". The short tale features Breckenridge Elkins facing more wild goose chases and cross purposes. There's the usual blend of comedy and action but I prefer the few earlier written stories that feature Elkins to this one. Although I did like this tale, at times it felt lacking in some way. This is humorous. The 'gent' is an ignorant, somewhat dim, bumbling, super strong hillbilly. He means well, but just seems to stumble into trouble. Only his great strength, a smart girl friend (who's usually mad at him) & a lot of good fortune manage to get him out. I love the book & chuckle my way through it every few years. My wife's opinion of my sense of humor is pretty poor (warped, childish, low) though, so your mileage may vary. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

A dozen men had their hands on their guns, but it wasn't that which made me give in. Pap had always taught me never to resist no officer of the law, so it was kind of instinctive for me to hand my gun over to Ormond and go along with him without no fight. I was kind of bewildered and my thoughts was addled anyway. I ain't one of these fast thinking sharps. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
