Summary: One of the best books I have read in a long time!
Review: I bought the paperback because it sounded interesting. I have never really enjoyed westerns but something about the premise of the book appealed to me. Since starting Sunshine Rider I haven't been able to put it down. It's a terrific book full of humor, adventure and wonderful characters. The plot is full of original events and laugh-out-loud situations. This is one of the best books I have read in quite a while. I have 40 pages left to read and am now taking my time because I don't want the book to end. You don't have to read westerns or be a vegetarian to enjoy this wonderful story. You will be amazed by this sleeper of a book just as I have been.

Summary: I only picked this because of the cover!
Review: In the library looking for a book and the colors of this one were eye catching so Idecided why not try. I had not gotten my hopes up but I was pleased. The characters were captivating and the story never slowed down.

Summary: OH SWEET LORD!
Review: Sunshine Rider takes off from page one and keeps you going right up until the end. The story follows the adventures of 17 year old Wylie Jackson from one mistake to the next. While constantly running, Wylie encounters many interesting characters. The story is sprinkled with jokes that are funny enough to get you laughing out loud (and consequently turning a few heads...especially if you are reading in the library). Wylie is a likable character even with all his flaws, and his narration is a lot like Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn. Anyone who liked that book will enjoy this one as well. I am now anxiously awaiting Moonshine Rider which I'm guessing is the sequel to this one.

Summary: Not your average Western...
Review: This book is tremendously entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny. At the same time, it incorporates some very serious issues for Wylie. There are some graphic scenes... my eight year old son read this book before I did and I will have to ask him what he thought about that. I am actually amazed that this book hasnt shown up on the challenged book list - I guess the "Beef, Its Whats For Dinner" people haven't gotten a hold of it yet.I think that the people who didn't like this book may have been expecting a typical "western", which this is not.

Summary: Sunshine Rider brightened my day!
Review: This was a funny, original, and surprisingly moving story about a young man and his cow/buffalo. Any book that can be as entertaining as this one deserves a five-star rating. I have already recommended it to both adult and young friends. Congratulations on such a wild, woolly and wonderful book, Mr. Hardman
