This was the February pick in my online book club, The Reading Cove. I thought it was a snooze-fest. It did get off to a promising start with Doc Holliday's early years, but this suffered under a very sluggish and rambling narrative. I quickly lost interest in all the drinking, gambling, etc.

I'd recommend this for die-hard Western or Doc Holliday fans.
