I found it tremendously entertaining, but I also think Patrick deWitt makes something very hard look easy: maintaining a voice like Eli's throughout the novel, and drawing in so many readers who wouldn't normally give him the proverbial time of day...I think that's pretty remarkable.Buried In Printhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00808249065026802365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-5927252245847773022011-10-07T13:07:27.152-04:002011-10-07T13:07:27.152-04:00I don't think I've ever read a Western but...I don't think I've ever read a Western but I have this one coming from the library and am looking forward to it since it's been nominated for a Booker.

I am not a huge fan of Westerns, but there is something about this book that sounds so different and unique. I have been reading a lot about it on the blogs as well. I sort of feel that it might be in the same vein as Missy by Chris Hannan.
