Flavors of Puglia: Traditional Recipes from the Heel of Italy's Boot

This novel sticks to your fingers and is difficult to put down. Join Tell as he struggles to survive. His future destroyed, Ange murdered, hunted and harried he eventually reaches safety. As soon as able he continues searching for her killer. A few letters from a friend bring other members of the clan riding to his aid. An explosive finish grips you by the seat of the pants. Family values at their best and a great story.

This is one of Louis' classics. In addition to being a great adventure read, it will definitely pull your strings in a lot of ways. It is at first sad (when the event that is the fulcrum of the plot occurs), and then eventually very uplifting and satisfying. Highly reccommended.

This has to be one of the best of Louis Lamour. What makes this one stand apart is that it is less predictable than his other novels, in that everyone doesn't end up riding away into the sunset. It has been years since I read this novel, but I can still remember it vividly.

This book builds superbly, holding one's interest throughout. One can easily sympathize with Tell Sackett, being generally hassled for no good reason, and the hard confidence of his kin as they ride to his aid sets up two or three of the best scenes I've ever read in a Western, period. By the time they get there, you wish that you were yourself a Sackett--of whatever occupation--with the right to stand as one of the family when your relative is being ganged up on.While the Sackett series is generally accepted as one of the best Western series out there, this one stands above the others. Words are used economically to portray the characters; L'Amour doesn't waste your time. I've probably read 200 Westerns in my life (not many, I realize), and if I could keep only one, this would be it.

When I read this book I got a rush because I could tell it was a good one from the beginning. The Idea of the book was what got me interested in the first place. I had read some of the other Sackett books by Louis L'Amour and this one got me jumpin. It is just the Idea of every one coming to Tell's aide when he needs it the most. It has the makings of becoming a classic if more people would recognize it's greatness. I read it almost tree months ago and I can remember every bit about it. I am Seventeen and if I can like this book so much I am almost positive that others my age, older, and Younger would love it too. I loved reading it so much that I could not put it down.
