willac's review against another edition
4.0
I love Ron McLarty, and I enjoyed this book, but as some other reviewers mentioned, the amount of profanity was, I thought, excessive, and I was getting VERY tired of one particular character (the dead one) to the point that several times I really wanted to just stop listening (I listened to the audio book version). It made me feel very frustrated.
Ron McLarty does a great job of reading his own work, and I love the "every man" characters that he creates. I just think this one went a little too far overboard as far as language and the constant presence of the sheriff's dead partner.

It was a little slow at the beginning but once it started to get good, it got me hooked.

This one was hard for me to get into. The beginning to me felt disjointed and hard to follow. Once I got further into it the story started to make sense. I didn't care for the Sheriff Petey character and his constant references to his dead partner. They rarely added any value.

The memory of Running by Ron McLarty was exceptional, but I didn't care for this one, or his book before this one.

It was okay. Lots of funny parts, good conversations, but too long in others. Much like the fictional author
