Reviews
"If you want to callDeadwooda Western, you might as well callThe House of Mirthchick lit. Dexter looked at the dark, twisted, ridiculous doings of Bill Hickok and company, said to himself, 'I recognize that!'and gave us a world-class entertainment." -Jonathan Franzen, author ofThe Corrections "Unpredictable, hyperbolic and, page after page, uproarious; a joshing book written in high spirits and a raw appreciation of the past." --The New York Times Book Review "Splendid. . . . Rumor put straight. . . . A carefully researched knitting of events into their most dazzling fabric." --The Philadelphia Inquirer "Deadwoodmay well be the best western ever written." -The Washington Post Book World "What deepens and darkens [Dexter's] writing, so that art is the precise word to describe it, is a powerful understanding that character rules, that we live with our weaknesses and die of our strengths." --Time "Dexter is a master of colloquial poetry, of moods revealed through gestures and settings." --Playboy "One of the greatest American writers... a storyteller who cuts straight to the nerve." --Scott L. Turow "Dexter's strongest suit is his exquisite understanding of the finely meshed engines of greed, appetite, and interest." --The New York Times Book Review "Great, eccentric characters....Dexter's writing is a living thing." --USA Today From the Trade Paperback edition.

  • Wild Bill and Deadwood Like it Really Was

    If you enjoyed the Deadwood Series on HBO, you love this novel even more. Written as history fiction, it gives many more details and deeper reviews and backgrounds of the characters. It calls Swearengen the whore man. lol which I'm sure is a more accurate description. Goes into great detail on Charley, Wild Bill's friends. Reading this is like your were there.

  • Deadwood

    I really liked the movie Wild Bill and the hbo series Deadwood. But this book by Pete Dexter is really great. It tell it like it really was. The movie and series should have been more like the book. Great reading. Could not put it down. I really like Wild Bill and the old west. Anyone who likes Bill should read this book. I give it a AAA+
