Negative Positive
Title: This book is incredibly touching and poignant.
Review: Horseman, Pass By is quite a departure for McMurty, being very different from his "Lonesome Dove" works. It has more in common with "The Last Picture Show" than it does any of his other works. It was the basis for the Paul Newman movie, "Hud", but that movie failed miserably in capturing the essense of this novel. (The best part about the movie is the performance of Brandon de Wilde as Lonny). I've re-read this several times, and it always touches me with each reading. Highly recommended.
