Always be a first rate version of yourself...: Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch

What's Going On Here?

There are SO MANY wonderful book review blogs out there and I can't compete with them, that is for sure. So this is not a book review blog. This is just a way for me to organize what I have read so that I can be better at matching the right book to the right person. The blog title comes from the brilliant mind of the most talented woman who ever lived, Ms. Judy Garland. The full quote is, "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of someone else." That is what I hope to do here and in ever aspect of my life.

Edge of Seat Ending

ALL of Robert B. Parker's Revelation, the ninth Virgil and Everett book, written by Robert Knott is excellent. But I found the ending to be especially wow wow wow wow! Excellent.

#8 and Still Great!

Robert Knott is a really good writer. He is the perfect person to carry on Robert B. Parker's stories of Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch. Blackjack is one of the best. Marshall Cole and Deputy Marshall Hitch ride on! Again, I urge everyone to read this series. Fans of westerns, fans of Parker, fans of Spenser, fans of Jesse Stone, fans of Sunny Randall.

Perfect in Every Way

I flew through The Bridge. Robert Knott is incredible. It is like Robert B. Parker is alive and well and writing. So funny, so Virgil, so Everett. If you haven't read this series, start it now, while it's only on the seventh book. There are so many Spensers, it is hard to catch up but man, man, man, this is just so good.

Virgil and Everett, together again

Ah...this was just wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful. Wonderful. Bull Run is the sixth book in the Virgil Cole and Everett Hitch series and I have to say that it was just like RBP was back from the dead. It has been said by many fans that of those who are carrying on Parker's characters, Ace Atkins, Michael Brandman and Knott, Knott does the best job. As I always say about this series, if you love westerns, you will love it, if you don't love westerns you will love it!

Back in the Saddle

It was so great to see that Virgil and Everett are still alive and well, even though Robert B. Parker is gone. Ironhorse was written by the guy who wrote the screen play for Appaloosa, Robert Knott. You can tell that it isn't written totally by Parker, it is kinda wordy, but I really enjoyed it. Especially the dialog between friends, now Marshall Virgil Cole and Deputy Marshall Everett Hitch. When they talk about Allie, it is hilarious! My friend Karen and I, are of course, Virgil and Everett and she is reading it now, too. About half of the book takes place on a train. The train is robbed by some old enemies of our duo and the Governor of Texas finds his family is jeopardy. But don't worry, Virgil and Everett are on it!
