The Walking Drum by Louis L'Amour

3.0

Just...so...friggin’...cheesy. A main character with no flaws. Fainting damsels who exist only to be love interests.

The story is kind of entertaining but falls flat. It contains some interesting historical flavor, but a few bizarre anachronisms make me doubt the accuracy of all the other historical tidbits.

I kept waiting for it to live up to the 5-star hype, but there’s really nothing in here that deserves it. Am I just becoming a curmudgeon in my old age?
