Way Of The Lawless

Description

Way of the Lawless by Max Brand is a true example of the sensitive, thoughtful, but action-packed and exciting Western stories that make Brand so popular even today.

The story is so exciting that it is very hard not to read it in one go – there is practically no good place to pause from reading. The novel is not only about action and fights – even though the toughness of the main character is elaborated in great detail. It is also a novel of development that shows how a boy becomes a man. The protagonist’s character is forged among horrible circumstances and hardships – probably this is what makes him so interesting.

Andrew lives a decent life at the beginning of the book, but a number of unlucky events and mishaps push him to become a desperado. There is a lot of suspense in the story, too, engaging the reader’s fantasy from page one and never letting go of it. It is not short of romantic elements either – the protagonist falls in love with a lady upon first sight and his feelings are returned, too, so the reader can expect some unexpected turns in the love story streak as well. Brand is a master not only of weaving stories, but of creating great endings, too, small wonder some who have already read the story call the end of it the most surprising finish a Western story can have.

Way of the Lawless by Max Brand makes the best use of the classic components of the genre of Western novels and it also adds some elements that are characteristic to Brand’s style. All the characters, even the minor ones, are well-shaped; the story line is exciting and the style is fresh – in short, Max Brand gives his readers everything they can possibly expect of a great Western novel.
