" I think this book has a perfect first chapter. Though the rest of the book lags in a few places plot wise, Smith's characterization and creation of setting are very strong. "

" It was pretty good...There wasn't much plotline to this book, but it had some deep thoughts. It wasn't supernatural. It had good characters in an modern-day western setting. "

" Is something wrong with me? I just couldn't get into this book. It was so "blah" for me. The writing style did nothing for me, and the characters seemed very flat. I don't know, maybe I'll pick this up later when I have time. "

" A good YA book for males. Although I thought there were a few too many slow spots in the book, I like the story and the protagonist. "

" This is the best young adult book I've read this year. I don't even want to call it "young adult" because it is so much more impressively written than everything else I've read in that genre over the past eleven months. I am very much looking forward to reading Andrew Smith's other novels. "

Samantha Nicholson | 11/8/2013
" Although it started out slow, this book was fantastic! It's a love story, a cowboy story, a horse story, and a "Stand By Me" story all rolled into one. Very realistic and moving. "

" I tried but I can't keep my head in it. Perhaps it's the wrong time for this book or maybe it's just wrong for me. "

Ricki | 1/17/2012
" This is a wonderful story of friendship. It is set in a gorgeous setting with snakes, mountain lions, goats, and horses. I liked this story a lot, but the beginning was slow, and it took some time for me to truly enjoy the book. "

" This book was odd, confusing, and slightly disturbing. I didn’t really like it. It was slightly disturbing with the violence, and the nudity. I really kind of wish I hadn’t read this book.
