What they describe as "rip roaring". Fast paced, evocatively written in that best skip hollandsworth way, full of fascinating characters very well drawn. Not a book w depth per se but a super enjoyable one. Elevating it to "must read" if you live in Austin (as I do), or even Texas in general- incredible look into the city's past, including stuff that's been largely forgotten

Still working my way thru the FANTASTIC "Name of the Wind" but look at this great sticker I added to my kindle tonight
