Book Review of Half Broke Horses: A True-Life Novel

Half Broke Horses: A True-Life Novel

Interesting subject, not well written. Lily Casey Smith was a powerful woman, admirably strong and willful, especially for the early 1900's. She defied tradition and won! Jeannette Walls' writing style is elementary at best. This book is written in journal style, certainly not as a novel. Worth the read, only because Lily was such an interesting person.
