This is a money grab and unworthy of this author

I have read and enjoyed so much of McMurtry's work and then this. It might have made an amusing magazine article, but something worthy of Larry McMurtry? Not so much. Very disappointed.

Sucked... Save your money

Larry MCMurtry has written some great books. This is not one of them. The dialogue is good but there is not story here. Sad really.

You still have your style; your words are music to the eyes. This book was very disjointed & did not connect well however.

After reading most of Larry McMurtry's books, I expected a lot more for $12. This is no Lonesome Dove. It's more like a very short fictionalized version of the Wikipedia listing on Wyatt Earp. McMurtry still has the touch, and the book was very entertaining for the few hours it took to read.

In a word... Horrible. Seemly random unrelated, uninteresting, and senseless ramblings without purpose or reason. Can I get a refund?

I've read a great many of McMurtry's novels. Generally loved them. But at least found lots to appreciate. This "novella", though at the price of a novel ( 170 pages in large font), is worthy of an occasional chuckle. It really is a pathetic effort to get something into print... To meet the mortgage? If it had been $2-$3 I'd applauded the effort, but despite my endless enjoyment of the Lonesome Dove books, I'm feeling betrayed and cheated by what I'd thought of as a great talent. Now a money loving opportunist like most of the "upper 1%".

Entertaining but slight re-telling of the familiar Wyatt Earp, Doc Holliday legend. Some of it reminded me of Lonesome Dove, which is generally a good thing since I consider that the author's best work. In this version Doc is the like able one and Wyatt the mean one, although not all mean, which is a twist on the usual tale. The story departs from the facts on a number of points, but that doesn't really matter. It is an exploration on one of McMurtry's familiar themes, the difference between truth and legend, and this story while not strictly true, feels true to the characters as written.
