A LAWMAN PAST HIS PRIME

My thoughts on the book:
I have never read anything or even heard of Jason Manning. I usually give a summary of my thoughts on the characters, however there was so many I wouldn't know where to even begin. The book is broken up into days then 3 chapters each day so each day promising something different. I have to say since the book had so many characters added it was hard to keep up with what the storyline was or what the story the author was trying to tell. I seemed that he spent so much time explaining each characters life story to bring them to current to have something happen and then going on to the next one. From what I gather of the story you have a broken Texas ranger who is set to keep the Texas free of all the evil during the late 1800's and he is ask to pick up a prisoner and take him home for the loss of Eddings son. They are met with a ton of challenges along the way and the story goes from there. This book was not for me but may be for the right person I hope my review sums up to give you the best choice to make for you.
