I am not sure what to think of this book. It is well written and I think
it is supposed to be funny. But I could not get into it. The jacket blurb reads,
"a Don Quiote of the French Quarter". I think it would be better as a movie.
If you like New Orleans, check this out.
A sweeping story set in post Civil War Texas along the Mexican border.
A fat book, there is even a sequel if you haven't gotten enough of Call and McCrae.
I saw the movie first and couldn't read the book without seeing Duval and Jones as
Gus and Call. But unusual for me, the casting enhanced the enjoyment of the book.
Recommended.
