HOMBRE by Elmore Leonard
I own all of Leonard's Westerns and none of his non-Westerns.
I liked HOMBRE till now.
Its the tale of a white Apache, captured and raised by the Apache in Arizona. His birth name is JOHN RUSSELL but the Apache call him THE MAN or Hombre.
Russell comes to town to take a stage to somewhere to sell a ranch he inherited. He wants to stay Apache. The other passengers make him ride atop the coach. But then theyre held up by bandits and marooned in the desert. Russell knows how to survive, the others don't. And all are silly assclowns.
My problem with the book is Russell gets a chance to shoot the bandits at close range and misses every shot. WTF He empties his rifle for zip. He's an expert. KISS MY ASS.
The rest of the book is excellent.
