This is a great book … Larry McMurtry, at his best here, is one of the finest American novelists, ever * Los Angeles Times *Succeeds marvellously … resurrecting two brilliantly conceived characters and delivering a rousing tale of the Wild West * San Francisco Chronicle *Stunning * The New York Times *
