Book Review : Two Coffins for Slocum by Jake Logan

Published : 2001 Format : Paperback Pages : 183 Genre : Western

Summary : Our hero Slocum hears about a new mining town named Bonanza . Naturally , he heads there intending to set up some gambling there . Why mine when one can play poker ? Anyways , along the way he helps Sarah June Daniels set up a bar there and then he saves a woman named Rebecca Simmons who was kidnapped by the local toll road owner . One thing leads to another and the town gets split in half over whether or not to have a railroad and also some fancy coffins led to a small civil war .

Review : This is essentially porn set in the wild west . Does the plot make sense ? Kinda , sorta , not really . Are the characters silly ? Yeah . If you’re looking for a serious western you’d look elsewhere but I think it was fun . If you don’t think too hard about it and just go with the flow it’ll work .
