I wasn't able to get through this book. It was a good idea but it just didn't grab my attention.I hardly ever stop a book mid-way through but I did here. And then I forgot about it. At this point, a few weeks later, I can't really remember anything about it. None of the characters or the plot re...
I picked this book up on a whim a while back, when it was on offer at a favorite discount store here. I'd never heard of it before, but thought that it looked interesting, and for $2.99 I'm willing to chance it. So now I've read it, and... well...

Dust City by Robert Paul Weston was about what I expected, and yet nothing what I anticipated. It's a weird conglomeration of Pulp Mystery, Fairy Tale, and Werewolf tale.
