I loved this book. I would normally ignore a Western. But I found this book in my university library and laughed out loud. I found this book really captured what I feel about being American. Braving the wild west, encountering other, using my imagination to solve the most dire circumstances, and always finding the funny in any situation.

A coming of age story in wild west that was Texas. Interesting characters, plot twists and laughter.
