Summary: Too much of a good thing...
Comment: Don't get me wrong, I love Baxter Black. His poetry is great, and his columns are fun and enjoyable. This book had its moments, too, but is a cluttered, frenetic read that could have used a sterner editor. Pared down, this book could have been a howlingly funny novella, instead of an amusing novel. Call me stuffy and all, but it gets tiring weeding through all of the invented silly names for people peppered throughout. No one in this book has a normal name, and what can be occasionally clever becomes a literary device bordering on tedium. Okay, as a comedy-fantasy this book does work for me, as the scenarios are much too fantastic to even smack of realism, and after awhile I gave up and read it in that light. It works, ignoring the intrusive attempts at cleverness, but for the next one, Baxter, throw in a couple of Jim Bobs and Tammys.

Summary: He calls 'em as he sees 'em!
Comment: Baxter Black is best known for his cowboy poetry, but in an unique twist of events, Baxter wrote a book on rodeo cowboys. Having "gone down the road" myself, this book brought back memories of some pretty crazy times in my life. A must-read for any rodeo fan.
Rating: 5
Summary: A hootin' hollerin' good read.
Comment: Any fan of Baxter or rodeo will enjoy this book. Blacks habit of interupting the story adds a whole new level of humor to the story. His down to earth and simplistic approach to life's curve balls is furthered as he takes on a variety of topics. Without a doubt this is worth the read.
