Book Review: "Anything for Billy" by Larry McMurtry

This is a totally fictional and totally enjoyable version of the story of Billy the Kid.  Truly, the story is more about the narrator, Mr. Sippy, a half-dime novelist who goes out west to experience the west, first hand.  He fails as a train robber and ends up meeting Billy.

Unlike McMurty's Lonesome Dove novels which were deep and sad, this is light and fun.  It is fast paced and filled with excitement.  A great western novel.
