This book was not for me. There are only 320 pages, and I still struggled to get through this. I am not a fan of westerns to begin with and I am picky about the steampunk genre, so that already put The Buntline Special at a disadvantage. However, it definitely did not win me over or change my mind. I was constantly going back and forth between being bored and wondering "…but why??" at some of the major events. I had never heard of Doc Holliday before reading this, and I was honestly not impressed. Doc, along with all the other characters, was extremely dull and stereotypical. Based off this book, apparently all men in the 1800s in the west were cowboys who liked only two things: guns and prostitutes. And apparently all the women are either prostitutes or the owner of a brothel. The story was a strange mix between being boring and extremely outlandish, which it turns out is not a combination that I like. There was very little that I enjoyed about The Buntline Special, but at least I can cross Western off my genre challenge list of 2021.
