Title: A Lousy Book
Review: If "Crazy Horse" is indicative of the quality of the Penguin Lives series, perhaps readers would be better off staying away. The book is dominated as much by McMurtry's towering ego (endless use of "I" and "me" in a book about someone else) as by the title character. McMurtry even uses descriptions from Africa to describe events in America, as if there weren't first-person accounts from the American West.Had the editor taken the time to do some serious cutting this would have been a decent book. That didn't happen, though, and the result is more than disappointing. If I could get my money back, I would.I expected more from McMurtry and from Penguin's Lives.
