This book was a BOTM pick for me and the title alone had me hooked! I was so glad the content inside the book did not disappoint! I love a good western style revenge plot with a bad ass who seemed destined to survive to make sure he got what was his. The book bounces back and forth in time and for awhile I wasn't sure if I liked that but it ended up being a really great device for the secondary plot line. If you liked Red Rabbit by Alex Grecian you will love The Bullet Swallower.
