[Kurt Fox]

2.5 stars rounded up to 3 for diligence of presentation. This book does have a very large number of quotes, all from Westerns, attributed to both character, actor, movie and date. Quite an effort, really! However, I was not impressed with the quotes because many did not provide wit or wisdom. Often good one-liners in movies are humorous, or memorable. Many of these quotes were neither funny, and for someone who has not seen all these movies, they were not memorable either ("you just had to be there..."). That left very, very few interesting witty, or wise quotes and lot of boring reading.

A fun book. Brought many memories.
