[Grant Edens · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best western I have ever read

Great characters, voice, and an AMAZING story

[G.R. Williamsom · Rating 1 out of 5]

A very big disappointment.

Billed as a historically accurate novel, it failed miserably. Real events and details were way off. And, then there was a hackneyed plot that was nothing but amateur.

Willis Newton was a fascinating outlaw that lived to be 90 years old - never to be repentant or ashamed of his criminal life. He died proud of what he had done.

If readers want to read the real story of Willis Newton, there are a few books that cover his life in accurate details.
