review 1: Book 3 of the Weird West Tales.Doc Holliday is expecting to die of consumption in a sanitarium, but while he's ready to wait for the end, the world isn't done asking things of him yet. The medicine man Geronimo, one of the powerful people keeping the the United States in check. But he's decided he'll take down the magic wall--for one man only. That man is Theodore Roosevelt, a promising young man who's going places. But the tribes that Geronimo used to side with know he's changed his mind, and they're going to stop him. They're creating a monster warrior, the unkillable War Bonnet.So Doc's not going to get his rest--instead, he'll have to help figure out how to destroy War Bonnet, keep everyone alive, and end the spell. And then he can rest--he hopes.Another fast-paced and... more absurd western adventure, an alternate version of history, mixed with magic and some interesting technology. A fun, quick read, though not that much happens.
review 2: The Doctor and the Rough Rider by Mike Resnick is as it says, a weird west tale. I personally just look at the cover of the book and if it looks cool, I read it. I was so disappointed because I thought looking at the cover there will be a lot of actions but only a small actions here and there and had a "big" action at the end. I also did not like how the author made the main character. Throughout the book he talks about how the main character is getting old so he coughs a lot of blood and just drinks liquor all the time and does not eat any meal. Like one time is fine but it just repeats over and over until it just becomes too annoying. I just kept reading because I thought there would will be some awesome surprise. But it did not happen and it was just too predictable. So I learned books are not always what it seems. less
