Folksy and much like Louis L'Amour's writing. A grand tale that runs from Philadelphia to the old west and cowboy trails of the desert. Amazingly visual, deeply affecting and full of action. Loved it!
Demented kabuki dance of historical b.s.
Why a good writer like McMurtry put out books like this is a mystery to me. If anything like historical accuracy is important to you in your fiction, avoid this book at all costs.
This is the wild, hot-blooded adventures of Billy the Kid, the American west's most legendary outlaw. This author takes you on a hell-for-leather journey with Billy and his friends as they ride, drink, love, fight, shoot and escape their way into the shining memories of western myth.
Another great McMurtry tale!
interesting. I liked the narrator more than I liked Billy. I've traveled throughout the southwest and I enjoyed the descriptions of the locations. Good enough to stay up late reading
