Justin's Reviews > The Buntline Special

By far one of the best books I have ever read. It was fantastically fun and enthrallingly entertaining. I love the wild west and have taken up an interest in steampunk in recent years so reading this book was an absolute delight. I've had this book and the series for a few years and I wish I had started reading sooner!
Number one reason I loved this book was because of Doc Holliday. What a character! Fearless, witty, ruthless and quite funny as well. If the real Doc Holliday was like this then I'm adding him to the list of people I wish I could have met. All the characters were portrayed very nicely and were great but Doc Holliday really takes the bullet.
The storyline, characters, plots, and historical fiction spin of actual events were all amazing and kept me glued to every page wanting to find out what happens next. I really loved the weird western and steampunk spin(which is what this book is) that this book had. It was done reasonably and it fit as if you could see it really happening rather then ideas being thrown in from a standpoint that wouldn't.
Thomas Edison and Ned Buntline really make Tombstone as weird and steampunk as possible.

Again, I absolutely loved this book and I could go on about everything that was great about it which is everything. I have no complaints and I can't wait to read the next one. If you're into the wild west with a weird steampunk spin and your gunfighters witty as a whip and ready for a fight then this book is definitely for you!
