McMutry takes on Billy the Kid via one of his most fun fictitious protagonists - a wealthy man from Philadelphia who writes dime novels and seeks inspiration. This offers McMurtry the chance for satire on dime novels which is fun. There is violence and humour though Billy is never quite a captivating character. A lot of it is made up.
