Book 1! Flint

Well my first book is done! I thought I would start my year off with a BANG and decided to read Flint by Louis L'amour! This book was better than I expected it would be.. I was blown away by every chapter.. I was reading at work, through boring insignificant college lectures, and leaned up against the wall in an upright position while changing diapers and finishing dinner. I finished this one in two days and sat on the edge of my seat through the entire book.. Louis is a genius! I can't believe how every time you turned the page the picture was painted in great detail before you as if you were walking through the most amazing adventure of your life...
It all starts when his guardian, Flint, took him up as an abandoned child in a ghost town he taught him everything from how to shoot and never miss to how to hide everything in your mind and keep nothing on paper. After his guardian was killed at a bar over a supposed card game gone bad James killed those that had held Flint down and shot him to death. After that day he left for the east he hated the things of the west and never wanted to return. He became high in power and extremely wealthy.. After marrying a woman who wanted nothing less than his money he soon realized she was out to kill him because she couldn't get in head or pry and information about his business out of him. After he was nearly killed he realized what was going on then soon after was diagnosed with a terminal cancer... He was slick and smart no one every expected what they encountered with this gentle yet mysterious man. So he inadvertenly got everything prepared to disappear once and for all. His destination, Malpias, the deserted volcanic wasteland where no man or animal could live yet a man needed none other than this place where a secret hideout laid waiting for him to live out his thought to be last few days of his existence. One wrong step and he's done for but this man knows this land all too well.. There begins an exciting and thrilling adventure of a life time!
This book is so exciting and intriguing! I love it and will be reading this one again! Can't wait to start another book.. This is going to be an amazing year of reading!!
