Title: Why it works......
Review: I read this sometime after it came out, back in the day when word of mouth was probably the best way to find a good read. This qualified immediately.There's a reason that this book worked for me. I think every American my age (40's) was exposed to the cowboy myth while growing up. This book expanded the myth into a legend. It was the first (and to date only) "western fantasy/supernatural" novel, though it was predated by "High Planes Drifter" which has the same tone.Roland struck me as a fully developed character. The author knew who he was, but exposed him almost miserly. This kept the interest and tension high through out the book.I would highly recommend this for anyone who is looking to blend the cowboy myth and fantasy.
