Resolution is also good, and Parker knows exactly what to do with his characters and where to take them after Appaloosa.
The movie lead me to the first book, which was so good it lead me to the second. And both lead me to pick up an omnibus of Elmore Leonard's western tales (http://www.amazon.com/Complete-Western-Stories-Elmore-Leonard/dp/0061242926/ref=tmm_pap_title_0): also highly recommended.
Ed Harris' take on Appaloosa is also better than James Mangold's take on 3:10 to Yuma (although that, too, is not tremendously bad).
