Book Reviews of Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, The: A Novel (P.S.)
Book Review: Quite Possibly The Best Novel I've Ever Read!
Summary: 5 Stars
WOW! I just finished this amazing book and am disappointed that it had to end! I've read countless novels, but seldom has an author captured my attention from beginning to end like Ron Hansen has in this masterpiece!
The book delves into the dark story of Jesse James and his assassin Robert Ford. The reader is instantly transported, through the masterful writing of Ron Hansen, into the late 19th century. It is a dark, moody book that seems to cast a spell upon the reader much as Jesse James himself has upon history. One is taken in the grip of this book in the first page, and is held long after the last page has been read.
If you loved the movie this book was based upon, then you owe it to yourself to read this book. The movie was fantastic, but because of time restraints, could not possibly cover all the details the book goes into.
Simply put, this is quite possibly the best novel I've ever read!
Summary of Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, The: A Novel (P.S.)
Jesse James was a fabled outlaw, a charismatic, spiritual, larger-than-life bad man whose bloody exploits captured the imagination and admiration of a nation hungry for antiheroes. Robert Ford was a young upstart torn between dedicated worship and murderous jealousy, the "dirty little coward" who coveted Jesse's legend. The powerful, strange, and unforgettable story of their interweaving paths?and twin destinies that would collide in a rain of blood and betrayal?is a story of America in all her rough, conflicted glory and the myths that made her.
