Customer Reviews

I'M NOT A COWBOY STORY PERSON, BUT ...

I just read this book and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, as I'm not into cowboy stuff. However, it was reminiscent of Lonesome Dove, in its realism of the times. I may look for more Sam Brown books now.

Cowboy life

Excellent. A great read, bringing to life the daily adventures of a Texas pan-handle cowboy. Great characterisation, with an extraordinary depth of feeling and emotion. Great sense of humour. This is authentic western stuff. Much better than the average shoot-em-ups that come off the Western shelf in the bookstore. Reminiscent of Monte Walsh and Will Penny.
