[Peyton · Rating 3 out of 5]

I do not read a lot of Westerns, but I love Western movies. The library had a Western display and I pulled this title off the shelf. It read like a typical Western: gunslinger on a mission, betrayal, death of a loved on, a girl to woo, etc. I think the reason that I do not read a lot of Western's is because they are so formulaic. It feels like the same thing every time I read one. I did enjoy "Peyton" (the modern title) as a something different from what I typically read. I hope this book will leave enough of an impact on me to read a Western every once and awhile.
