Brief Book Summary:
In one of Parker's finest, two gunmen arrive in the lawless town of Appaloosa where the actions of a renegade rancher have already taken their toll.

Appaloosa was not written as a historical biography - it's a novel, very readable, has memorable characters and I enjoyed it. It's a fast read, but I'm reviewing it because it deserves this review: "A FUN BOOK TO READ". I bought Appaloosa and it sat on the shelf while I read other books because I was hesitant to get into a Western. Once I cracked the cover I didn't put it down. Those who didn't like this book said it was like other books by Robert Parker. I never read his other books so I can't say. I read this one and enjoyed it thoroughly, especially the ending.
It gets two thumbs up from me and I'd give it three if I had a third thumb.

I didn't realize when I purchased Retribution that there was another book in the Virgil/Everett 'series' so I read Retribution first. I loved that book but would have had a lot better context if I'd started with Appaloosa...plus the book is just terrific...enjoyed it even more than Retribution. I truly hope Robert B. Parker continues this series and develops these characters more fully.

I like the Spencer books by Mr. Parker, but it seems that the reviewers may not have read his Spencer books. Apaloosa has the same three characters as the Spencer books but they are just shuffled around. Virgil Cole is Hawk and Everett is Spencer. Allie is simply Susan with a slightly altered personality. There isn't much fresh material here, more violence and swearing but that is about it. If you have read one or two Spencer books then you have already read Apaloosa.
Rated by buyers -
Like many Western novels, this is set in an unspecified somewhere in the west, at an unspecified sometime. It's not easy to figure out the year; there is no mention of the Civil war, so I assume Virgil and Everett were not in it. They seem to be in their 40s, so we might date this in perhaps 1885-1890, but there are still hostile Kiowas around. This is a little sloppy.

APPALOOSA's Marshall Virgil Cole & his deputy Everett Hitch are as great together as Gus McCrae & Woodrow Call Texas Rangers partners in LONESOME DOVE. I loved this book & have recommended it to everyone! Also helps that Robert B Parker is my FAV! I love his Spencer, Jesse Stone & Sunny Randall books too!
