4.0 out of 5 stars Good guys, bad guys, 23 July 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Zeke and Ned (Hardcover)
I have read this twice now, once several years ago and more recently just to check it was as good as I thought.

On first reading it was a pleasant story of indians and deputies. What struck me second time around was the completeness of the characters. None of the main characters was entirely good or bad. The heroes of the book, Zeke and Ned are respectively adulterous and paranoid. Zeke's adultury initiates a series of increasingly awful events and Ned's (in the circumstances justified) paranioa leads to the distruction of himself and the personality of his wife.

Both main men are likeable and funny, there are scenes of Ned falling asleep drunk and of Zeke making the most of a slight injury to weedle his way back into his wife's affections.

The female characters range from the innocent but doomed Jewel, to the fearless, prodigious Dale. Many of the female characters are independent of men, while at the same time accepting that they need one around.

There is a host of supporting characters in this book who have the most unlikely names in ficton, Chilly Stufflebean and Tailcoat Jones, just two examples. They have strange habits too, one keeps a bear and regularly beats it and Pete's dog can walk sideways.

Only a rambling style and occasional repetitiveness lets this book down.

A good read for when the sun is on your back and you want nothing more than to ride into the sunset.
