A major disappointment. McMurtry's novel, loosely based on the life of Billy the Kid, is disjointed and utterly without any reason for emotional investment by the reader. It doesn't help that the title character is presented as an ignorant, superstitious, cowardly little blowhard, which makes the narrator's promised devotion to him (I didn't get that far) totally unbelievable.
