"A darn good read: an entertaining spoof about the Wild West that brings alive the romance of outlaws, gunfighters and shootouts.... McMurtry has created a modern-day dime novel, a romantic knock-up of the West -- proof that an old-fashioned oater can be as much fun to read as a literary work." -- The Washington Post

"Sassing her way through a series of sometimes improbable adventures that just happen to put her in the middle of famous moments in history, Nellie proves herself irresistible." -- Library Journal

"This rollicking epic is filled with excitement and humor, tinged with sadness and a longing for the past." -- Booklist

"Most readers won't be able to help cracking a smile.... As purposely over-the-top as an episode of South Park." -- Publishers Weekly

"More laughs and a lot more sex.... An easy, breezy read." -- Kirkus Reviews
