Book Description:

The time is 1925. The place, St. Louis, Missouri. Charley Floyd, a good-looking, sweet-smiling country boy from Oklahoma, is about to rob his first armored car.

Written by Pulitzer Prize winner Larry McMurtry and his writing partner, Diana Ossana, Pretty Boy Floyd traces the wild career of this legendary American folk hero, a young man so charming that it's hard not to like him, even as he's robbing you at gunpoint. From the bank heists and shootings that make him Public Enemy Number One to the women who love him, from the glamour-hungry nation that worships him to the G-men who track Charley down, Pretty Boy Floyd is both a richly comic masterpiece and an American tragedy about the price of fame and the corruption of innocence.

Alegend in his lifetime Charlie Floyd robbed his first amored car in 1925. The people he couldn't charm were the F.B.I.agents tracking him down.

Found this book in a dollar store about two years ago...the story sounded interesting so I picked it up, but it's always gotten pushed to the bottom of my "to be read" list so I thought I'd put it on here for anyone interested.
