No errors. . . This is a novel and * not * an adventure story of real life. Public expressions Mrs. Walls uses can entertain some people, but I’m not overly impressed. I grew up in Arizona and I found these “stories” to be a bit “unbelievable… Even if they would have been about 1930. Have no doubt enriched the stories he heard as a child who had probably already ready to be exaggerated. As a novel, this has sometimes been a fun read, but did not live up to intrattenimento.I characters are unique, but not all together pleasant.
