Incident at TwentyMile Trevanian 9780312970239 Books Reviews

I picked up this book because many years ago I read Shibumi and while I can't remember enough of that novel to write a review for it, I can remember that it was a very good action/adventure/thriller type novel. I have never been interested in the Western genre, but since I knew I liked the author here, I thought I'd give it a try.
The problem with reviewing this book is that I'm not familiar with Western's so I have nothing to compare it too. From my perspective, this book was all right, but not really my cup of tea. Is that because I don't like the genre or because it wasn't done as well as the normal Western? I have no idea. I will say I enjoyed the historical aspect of the book and I really liked reading the after word in which Trevanian tells what happened to the characters in real life after the adventure/tragedy that came into their lives.
I'd recommend this book to someone interested in Western's, even though it's not Trevanian's normal territory, it's a well written book (albeit a bit slow and laborious at times) and because the book is based on real events, it's historically interesting even though much of it is conjecture. I do think it would make a very good movie, if cast and adapted correctly, simply because the story is pretty straight forward, main action all happens in the course of just a few days, and the bad guy is evil enough and interesting enough to grab and hold interest.
I am glad I waited, simply because I was not emotionally mature enough to "get" what was going on here. I have read many fine authors in my lifetime, and Trevanians works are amongst my favorite brain candy.
In Trevanians' books, especially since "The Summer of Katya", I have found a love of each phrase and each paragraph. Some phrases I read over and over again because they are so gorgeously put to paper. The surprises and twists are lovely, yes. The characters are sometimes, well, oftentimes caricatures drawn from other popular novels of whatever genre'. They are sometimes an homage, sometimes not. One thing I find very interesting thing about his novels, is his leads see those whom they disagree with in much the same way as you and I tend to; they see them single dimensionally. Those they side with, they see all the different facets of their personalities empathetically. The worlds are outlined and easy for you to imagine in your own way. The characters are fully drawn without removing your imagination from creating them as you wish to see them. The art is not lost.
To be sure, this is not my favorite Trevanian novel, but I do love it and I am glad I read it.
The wild west as only Trevanian and Cormac McCarthy (Blood Moon) can write about it. Yes, I'm a fan of both authors. They both bring a lawless, violent part of history to life.
Love everything he writes - Must have read all of his books now
Okay, I will admit that I was born in Wyoming and know the area of this story quite well. That said, I really appreciated Trevanian's portrayal of this isolated town, so close to the site of the the famous Owen Wister's VIRGINIAN. As always, he tells a gripping tale. The characters are stereotypic yet unforgettable.
TYPICAL TREVANIAN
Wish there were more of his books.
