Reply To: Has anyone ever read ‘The Mountain Man’ books by William Johnstone?

Thanks for the responses! I could assume that ‘selling well’ is typically due to it being an enjoyable book. Maybe a one-shot unknown author could sell a lot of books if the publisher wasted huge amounts of money on marketing. But a series of 50 or more books would not keep selling if they weren’t considered good – at least within some limited audience.

The violence point is a good information.

I have no problem donating them to the library, selling them on eBay, or just recycling them. I asked in the first place because I respect the person who gave them to me, and wanted to at least consider delivering the gift as suggested. I do not however trust their Hashkofa enough to do it without checking first. Furthermore, the giver is a much older person who might not be a good judge of age-appropriateness, and I had no idea which of my children they had in mind.
