The plot of the story is quite good,albeit it ended abruptly with the death of Mr.Culpepper followed by the hanging of Reese Gannon.The manly nature as told in the book seemed copulative and not quite expressive in the spiritual love.As the matter of fact..it sort of alleviate the height of physical love...which i could say it was "invigorating" to some people indeed.But not quite to those seeking love and romance in the real sense.Apart from that, this book is still good and attractive...
