"Dead Man's Walk is a very good read . . . [It] will keep you
reading [and] make you miss meals." --Seattle Times
"Dead Man's Walk. . . succeeds marvelously . . . resurrecting two
brilliantly conceived characters and delivering a rousing tale of
the Wild West."--Michael Berry, San Francisco Chronicle

business--with a vengeance. . . . Readers will gobble up Dead Man's
Walk--a wild and wooly read--from cover to cover."--Denver Post
"In Dead Man's Walk, McMurtry uses a simple, wry, immensely
accessible storyteller's voice to ponder the same questions that
Melville and Conrad did. This is a great book. . . . Larry
McMurtry, at his best here, is one of the finest American
novelists, ever. We are lucky he's around."--John Milius, Los
Angeles Times

lifelike, believable, and lovable. . . . McMurtry's stories are
brimming with passion and page-turning excitement. . . It's good,
good stuff."--Kansas City Star

dialogue, doing a sort of frontier version of Oscar
Wilde."--Washington Post Book World
