Billy the Kid lived a pretty wild, eccentric life! Well, at least according to Pat F. Garrett, who I think exaggerated quite a bit. The entire account felt a bit melodramatic and I think Garrett was prone to stretching the truth a bit just to make himself look like a special hero for shooting Billy the Kid. I wouldn't mind reading a more factual biography of Billy the Kid because it didn't feel as if this book was entirely accurate. The book made for an quick read because the chapters were short, however it was a little hard to get through because it was boring in some spots.
