Seems only fair, if I’m posting laudatory reviews I should also post the less-than-laudatory. I’ve been assured this is not a BAD review. I choose to think this reviewer just read a different book from the one I thought I was writing. Here it is.

The story of a boy growing up into a man by way of ambition, adventure, catastrophe, love, and grief. A Western about cowboys and horses, and how Hollywood made Westerns about cowboys and horses, and what happens when the real thing and the fake collide. A beautiful, moving novel, cut from the American heartwood.

I read Falling from Horses in two gulps. The writing is gorgeous, the setting so beautifully realized, both time and place, the narrative voice unforgettable, and all the characters so real and compelling. Tremendous, page-turning....I could not have loved it more.

Yes, he read a different book from the one you wrote. All the other reviews make much more sense.
I forgot to finish what i wanted to say which is that your writing is simply superb. Keep doing it! Jane
