Reminiscent of Larry McMurtry in Lonesome Dove, Cormac McCarthy or Kent Haruf. Brilliant! I loved this book, did not look forward to having it end. Todd's characters are human, with very human failings but you relate to them and love them anyway. I had never read a Jack Todd book before but I loved this novel and will certainly look for his other works.
Rehash of previous events over and over; it felt just thrown together as you read it. Like: see if I can fill enough pages with old stuff to sell one more book. Ugh.
