This was the best book of all four from this series. Though it ended not how I would have thought it should have, it made sense. There was alot of action in this book which I liked. Of course after 4 volumes you understand the characters very well and hate to see the book end. I enjoyed this series though at times it seemed like it was dragging on for a while and jumped around too, but that was just the way McMurtry writes. I rated this book higher than the others just because it was very interesting.
