eldiente's review against another edition
5.0
Audio version- I have been a fan of Loius L'Amour westerns since high school. But somehow Elmer Kelton slipped my attention. This novel had a very memorable main character who experiences significant personal challenges and redeems himself through making good choices. The economic and societal themes are apparent and it is interesting how the author uses a western setting to explore these. This is only the second novel by this author which I have read, it surely won't be my last.

“Elmer Kelton is truly a Texas legend and a good friend.” —Texas Governor, Rick Perry
DNF. 18%. Kelton writes republican wet dreams, everything is black and white, the hero’s are “real men” and if it was possible to make it through the shitty writing and hilariously bad dialogue I’d probably find out that ‘murikkka wins the day.
