Media Reviews

Thick with the kind of blood-soaked descriptions that would do Cormac McCarthy proud. * * Wall Street Journal * *
There is blood. There is whiskey. There is the scent of gunpowder and gasoline hanging above the space through which the Bondurants pass, unrepentant, robed in their own greed. It's a dark, flinty reimagination of what a memoir - and your grandfather's stories - can be. * * Esquire * *
Engrossing. * * Entertainment Weekly * *
This is a lyrical and riveting book . . . It's a book that hurts like life. * * Salon.com * *
