Negative Positive
Title: Boone's Lick
Review: A BIG disappointment. It's not much more than an expanded outline for a made-for-TV movie (287 large print & wide margin pages). I made myself finish it only because I had $24 invested in it and wanted to see if it was bad all the way through as it was in the beginning. It was! It has good potential for the development of memorable characters, but McMurtry didn't come through as he usually does. The story was boring and I really didn't care if the Cecil family made it to Wyoming or not. Bottom line: I felt this was presented to the American public as a commercial venture to entice the Christmas shoppers to spend some more of their money and to fill the pockets of the publishers and McMurtry. I'm sorry I fell for their tactics and I am VERY disappointed that McMurtry would present such a weak piece of work to his loving readers!
