Jane Kirkpatrick is a master describing early Western settlers.I have read nearly all of her books and would recomment themto anyone who is interested in this type of fictionalized history.

Jane Kirkpatrick never disappoints. Her knowledge of the west in the 1800's and her talent for writing combine to make the past come alive.

Ahhh, the length and breadth of talent knows no bounds. Stan Lynde, creator of Latigo and Rick O'Shay hits literary stride with "The Bodacious Kid". Actually, this is his seventh novel and continues a tradition of excellence.The year is 1882, and Merlin rides into Progess County Montana looking for a job as a cowhand. He is arrested for being a horse thief and pleads innocence. Sheriff Wilkes gives him two weeks to bring in the real criminal. Lynde adds in four characters, two sheriffs, an outlaw chief, and a pretty woman that turn this book into an amazing read. With decades of experience in snappy dialogue, Lynde creates a novel I was compelled to read.Like the Latigo Kid and Rick O'Shay, I can imagine the graphic novel/illustrated strip this could be.This is another feather in the cap, another notch in his gun, and another book for the Stan Lynde collection. Awesome fiction.

I don't think you could really call this a book--it's more like a scrapbook or photo album. I learned perhaps 2 things about AJ that I hadn't heard before. It is definitely NOT the tell-all book it has been hyped to be--which is probably a good thing. The pictures are great--obviously mostly from her personal collection, as there are pics of Backstreet Boys sleeping, and at family celebrations. Very precious and priceless picture of Brian and Nick in younger years sound asleep on a couch. There is one picture of AJ in the bathtub--not too revealing--thank goodness. All in all, not a big price to pay for some really great pictures, but not much of anything else.

Maybe I'm the only one that feels this way...I would never read this book, let alone give money to this Marisa person by endorsing it. I think it's dishonest and deceitful for someone to capitalize on an ex's success. If Alex won't endorse her book, why should I? BSB forever!

Okay...I love AJ to death and I'm glad that she wrote this book to inform other AJ fans out there of how the real AJ is. I mean, a real AJ fan could be nothing but grateful for such a inciteful depiction of the man himself. I love the fact that she gathered old pictures and letters....but what I didn't like was the fact that of the letters that she wanted to keep private...she really shouldn't have published them and then covered them up.. I was overall happy with the book.PS and what in the world does "Dino" mean?
