This is one of the best books I ever read, and I am always reading something. Though it is 'fiction', the author uses a lot of words and phrases that were used in the era of 1881. Researched well, as far as I know, I think a lot of the dialogue and episodes were from primary sources (non-fiction accounts and newspapers). Over and over this writer wrote sentences or descriptions that were stunning, like: (pg. 113) "Snow made boards of his trousers..."; and (pg. 133) "...Dick slid off a stool and limped over with a mug that sloshed pennies of coffee on the floorboards." Even the punctuation was most likely from back then. The author was so dedicated to making this book seem to come right from 1881 and making the era and the people seem as if the reader is peeking in on real life scenes from then. He is either a brilliant researcher or a real good liar. In any event, he is an incredible writer. The book covers the last three months of Jesse James's life and of his assassin's, Robert Ford. I could not put this book down and, when I had to, I couldn't wait to get back to it. Now I want to read a non-fiction book of the same thing to see just how much was true, just so I don't make a fool of myself in conversation by insisting that things in this book that may have been created by the author were true. Highly recommend the movie of the same name that is on DVD. It contains many direct pieces of this book. Review: Veey good book - I had watched the movie starring Brad Pitt (as Jesse James) and Casey Affleck (as Bob Ford) when it came out in cinemas in my country, then found this book on here and bought it in the year 2015, and managed to read it now, four years later...that's a lot of time but it helped me to go through the movie again, so to say, and i'm happy because it's a very good book, every character is well described, from Jesse James, his life, his mates, to his killer, Robert Ford, who finds sort of success after shooting Jesse Woodson James on April 1882 by taking the stages here and there to play himself in front of big audiences who pay to see and feel what happened at the outlaw's house, and gambling and running saloons, but who's quickly seen as evil, a bad person, and always afraid of someone looking for him. The book features an interview with the author and the section "Jesse James, Facts and Falsehoods, Fiction and Film" to know more about the outlaw ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #252,942 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #519 in Biographical Historical Fiction #2,070 in Westerns (Books) #6,602 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (633) | | Dimensions | 7.98 x 5.52 x 0.81 inches | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0061120197 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0061120190 | | Item Weight | 8.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 336 pages | | Publication date | September 18, 2007 | | Publisher | Harper Perennial | ## Images ![The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford: A Novel (P.S.) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714yKKIVfNL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Incredible Book *by A***Y on November 24, 2017* This book would get more than five stars if it were allowed.
