A review by wallabees
The Shootist by Glendon Swarthout
2.0
After seeing this on multiple “greatest westerns of all time” lists I had to give it a read.
The writing was not for me. Aside from Books all the characters were one dimensional and only served to move the plot forward. There were some decent spots of introspection from Books and his interactions with the visitors to his death bed were entertaining but outside of those there wasn’t much substance.
