Today I started reading The Lonesome Gods by Louis Lamour. I am about thirteen chapters into the book. This book grabbed me right from the start and it was tough to put it down. So far the book is about a boy whose mother has died and he has taken off and is looking for his father who is somewhere in the west. This book is about his adventures he goes through in order to track down his father. It has been very interesting so far and I can`t wait to start reading again. I wonder why his dad is gone from home to start with and why he doesn`t come home when his wife falls sick. Is he dead, does he not have any communication with the east at all or does he simply not care. This book I am reading is so far fairly simular to another book I read a couple of years ago. The biggest difference is the setting. The other book was set in England and this one is set in America. I look forward to finishing this book.
