Title: Interesting and warped
Review: After I read a short story, 'Poached', by this author I was so impressed with how he described living in the rural South, I thought I'd investigate His novels. Smonk is an unusual anti-hero, a warped creature who exibits psychopathic behavior and has no belief system. He does exactly what he pleases at all times without any reguard for societal constraints. Strangely likeable for all that. I like Franklin's writing style because he makes me beleive the Old West was exactly as he depicts and makes me grateful I can experience it through his writing and not personal experience. The Old West seemed really crummy, peopled with lots of Smonks.
