1) Hardcover Book On Rims of Empty Moons by Texas Tech University Press. I have NEVER laughed so hard, and been so drawn into a work of fiction. Not only was I loving Johnny McBride and hating Hide immediately, but I was savoring every page...i.e: not reading it when the kids were around to bother me...this is a tremendous read with so much heart and humor:) McAfee should move to the ocean and write full time and honor all of us with further works of art!¤

2) Hardcover Book On Rims of Empty Moons by Texas Tech University Press. From the opening page the humor starts and Johnny McBride begins the journey of his life. With the humor born of a lifetime of experience and the poetic use of language John P. MaAfee brings the world a book about life and making decisions. From the West Texas cow county of the west, you will travel with McBride even further west until he ends up in Southeast Asia. After that it is back west by a means almoast unbelievable that McAfee makes real. Then the questions are answered, even some that didn´t seem to be questions in the first place. A truely enjoyable read, it was hard to put down and I did so only to preserve the domestic tranquility. Then it was up early to finish before going to work. McAfee has gone beyond SLOW WALK IN A SAD RAIN. This book is the must read of 1998!¤

3) Hardcover Book On Rims of Empty Moons by Texas Tech University Press. If you´ve enjoyed the work of Cormac McCarthy, then you should not miss "On Rims of Empty Moons. McAfee wanders over similar terrain as McCarthy, but he has the craziest imagination you´ve seen in print for years, and a wild sense of humor that finds laughs even in the midst of the goriest events and the blackest tragedies. The book takes the reader on a crazy journey from the dry landscapes of West Texas and northern Mexico to the steamy jungles of VietNam, and accomplishes all without a false note, because the author knows intimately the places and the ways of life he talks about. My personal thanks to McAfee and his publishers at Texas Tech Press for a book in which finally an Anglo author writes about Mexico without making the speech of the characters and the language they use sound like snippets of dialogue from an old Cisco Kid movie. Can´t wait for the movie version! (Nahh! Hollywood couldn´t cope with this kind of imagination without emulsifying and adulterating it!)¤

4) Hardcover Book On Rims of Empty Moons by Texas Tech University Press. John McAfee has a great way of using humorous cynicism to depict life on the plains of Texas and in the jungle of Vietnam. He does so with the ultimate intent, which he accomplishes superbly, of showing how the environment of his boyhood home was destroyed and the lives of people downstream disregarded.¤
