I've admired this author for many years because of this quote:

“Start writing, no matter what. The water does not flow until the faucet is turned on.” ― Louis L'Amour

This quote has literally saved my writing so I've admired him for a long time. This is the first book of his I've gotten around to reading and I think he's a really great writer. I was surprisingly interested despite not being fond of multiple main characters in a single book.

I liked picturing the settings that he placed his characters in and how the characters connected with each other. It kept my attention easily.

Plus, there's this quote which I absolute adore:

"Are they impossible? If you can dream of them, maybe they are possible. And, in the meantime, they help you to be happy."

This man is a fantastic writer and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of his wonderful books.
