"This is only the second Larry McMurtry book I've read and I didn't care for The Last Picture Show. For me, the film was better. I like this one though, that the film Hud is based on. And I think in this case, both are good. It takes place over a few months, late spring and early summer, on a ranch in a small town in Texas. I think it really captures the teenage boy's lonliness, restlessness, and anticipation of what his own life will be as he regards the few men around him. It is sad and there is a violent scene but it wasn't over the top. The boy's mixed feelings for one of the characters were a little uncomfortable to read, as well as his lack of action when needed, but I think honest and understandable."
"There were somethings that I liked about this book, and some things that I had a hard time with (the portrayal of certain characters). McMurtry has a great style and captures voice really well. Right now, I'm still unsure exactly how I feel about this book. I might need to read a couple of his other books."
