Rendition As Books Sin Killer (The Berrybender Narratives #1)

From Pulitzer Prize-winning author Larry McMurtry comes the first in a four-volume epic journey through the early American frontier, featuring the Berrybender family, English nobility adrift in the American West in the 1830s.

It is 1830, and the Berrybender family—rich, aristocratic, English, and hopelessly out of place—is on its way up the Missouri River to see the untamed West as it begins to open up. With irascible determination—and a great deal of outright chaos—the party experiences both the awesome majesty and brutal savagery of the unexplored land, from buffalo stampedes and natural disasters to Indian raids and encounters with frontiersmen and trappers, explorers, pioneers, and one part-time preacher known as "the Sin Killer." Packed with breathtaking adventure, charming romance, and a sense of humor stretching clear over the horizon, Sin Killer is a truly unique view of the West that could only come from the boundless skill and imagination of Larry McMurtry.

Criticize Appertaining To Books Sin Killer (The Berrybender Narratives #1)

Part of the Berrybender Narratives, this is a series of four books. I'm out of order, as I started this series with book #3 - By Sorrows River.Sin Killer, the name given to the frontiersman Jim Snow is the first book of the series. The ending felt incomplete, as I expect McMurtry had the future books, and a series in mind.The multitude of characters are tragic, and amusing as Lord B and his party hunt off the shores of the Missouri river with much of his family and entourage enduring this very

Larry McMurtry reinvented the Western novel. With his debut, Horsemen Pass By to his Pulitzer Prize winning Lonesome Dove, McMurtry broke from the conventional Western made popular by Zane Gray in the early twentieth century and Louis LAmour in the mid-twentieth century and portrayed the Westwhether historical or modernwith more grit and grim.McMurtrys speciality is character development. And perhaps no Western character is more beloved than Lonesome Doves Augustus McCree. McMurtry knows how to

A truly Original take on the Earl; 18th Century American West,by a true master of the genre, where the aristocratic Lord Berrybender Family led by the incompetent patriarch of the brood, goes in search of the hunt, on the Western Frontier, whilst losing various members of his family, and body parts. Excellent!

Normally I like McMurty's work. But this one didn't work in any way. The English lord and his "posse" of family and misfits didn't ring true and double that for how they are killed. The protagonist didn't fit the role-he seemed whiny and confused. The historical characters they met are miscast. None of the story line worked for me.

Ever since "Lonesome Dove" I've wanted to read something else by Larry McMurtry. This was no comparison to LD but was still enjoyable. The book is very funny, bawdy, and filled with superficial, whiny, entitled, messed-up characters who made me laugh and sigh with frustration. The Berrybenders are a wealthy English family coming to the American prairie to seek adventure...a new experience...a new outlook...who knows. They are so dysfunctional and simpering, with Lord Berrybender leading the

This was a book on tape, and it kept putting me to sleep--not a good thing when you're driving! Altogether, I found the characters disagreeable and had a hard time caring about them. I couldn't wait until we arrived at our destination and I didn't have to listen to it anymore. (My husband/travel companion found it mildly interesting.)
