What a polarizing novel for myself. I just loved how L'amour describe the landscapes of Arizona.
They are almost poetic, truly showing real love and knowledge about the places written.
On the other hand, characters feel one-dimensioned, a bit corny, and cliché (I kinda expected this from a 1950's Western). For example, Angie, the love interest of Hondo, despite living her all life in the frontier and having been a couple months without her husband, seems to become utterly useless from the very moment she met Hondo.
I also didn't like the overuse of the word "squaw" (English is not my native language, but I
understand that the word has some derogative tone to it, if I'm wrong, by all means, please let me know.)
All in all, Hondo is a pretty enjoyable light novel. I'm looking forward reading something else from L'amour.
