Review # 1 was written on 2009-07-10 00:00:00 Charlie F Henson It's really hard to categorize these stories. This is Howard writing boxing stories with humor. The humor is broad and rather slapstick at times, but it's also dead funny. I wouldn't suggest you read a whole bunch of these stories back to back, but reading one or two at a time can sure lighten up a day with a smile.

Review # 2 was written on 2011-12-28 00:00:00 Daniel Chase I like Steve Costigan, REH's best brawler. Robert E. Howard has a quite a way of describing boxing matches, a furious style that shows REH knew what he was writing about. It shows that REH was not only a boxing enthusiast, but also an amateur boxer. These stories are packed with action. In hindsight, though I probably shouldn't have read these straight through like a novel - some of the stories blended together - but should have treated it like I treat most short story collections; I read a story or two between reading other novels.
