Opening in the settlement of Long Grass, Texas - not quite in Kansas, and nearly New Mexico - we encounter the taciturn Wyatt, whiling away his time in between bottles, and the dentist-turned-gunslinger Doc, more adept at poker than extracting teeth. Now hailed as heroes for their days of subduing drunks in Abilene and Dodge - more often with a mean look than a pistol - Wyatt and Doc are living out the last days of a way of life that is passing into history, two men never more aware of the growing distance between their lives and their legends.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 25
Frontier mobster Big Boy Daugherty warns any who'd stand in his way: Get out or die. One man will do neither. Sheriff Dave Buckalew is a man too proud to give up and too stubborn to give in. He liked his town the way it was - before the bootleggers, brothels, and fortune-seeking roustabouts - and so did a lot of other hardworking, decent folk. Together they'll fight to win back their town - and their future. This is the story of their heroic stand.
Publisher's Summary
In addition to his 29 books, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Larry McMurtry is credited on dozens of screenplays—including the Academy Award-winning Brokeback Mountain.
Horseman, Pass By is a post-World War II classic first published in 1961 and later made into a feature film (Hud, starring Paul Newman). Cattleman Homer Bannon is a walking advertisement for traditional, old-frontier morals—in contrast to his stepson, Hud. Homer’s grandson Lonnie is torn between emotions for his father and grandfather as he struggles to define his own identity.

Early book by McMurtry and it shows it.
I love McMurtry books, but this one was a very early book my him and it shows it in many ways. It is normal for his books to be slow winders but this one just goes way to far. I hate to say boring but i cannot think of any other word that really fits, so boring will just have to stand. The reader is pretty good and considering what he was given to work with he did a pretty good job. I'll keep this brief and say you could pick another McMurtry to get to know him and just about all of them would work, he really is a excellent writer TODAY.

Narration has no inflection
What would have made Horseman, Pass By better?
The narrator makes no effort to change his tone... ever. It's hard to listen to the dialogue especially. Your really can't tell if someone is asking a question, telling a joke, sobbing, etc. I'm probably spoiled and used to narrators who develop a different voice for each character. But this guy is going above and beyond to make the entire reading monotone. The regional dialect is especially bad, it sounds so out if place in his delivery.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Haven't finished yet. I do have a problem with people writing reviews before they finish, but this narrator is going to make this a grueling experience and I had to say something.
Would you be willing to try another one of Kerin McCue’s performances?
No, not unless he has figured out that audio books in the 21st century have become a genuine source of entertainment and performance art. This reads like a textbook.
What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?
I really am having trouble following the reader. He sucks all the emotion out of the story. His interpretation of the style, punctuation, and inflection that McMurtry had in mind is completely absent. I'd rather listen to a reader who has a bad sense of interpreting characters than no style at all.
Any additional comments?
I just wish this book could be re-released with a different reader. It was done in the early 90's before audio books were a viable source of entertainment for over 50 million people in the U.S. This just sounds informational.
