The Virginia by Owen Wister

I gave this book, The Virginian, four stars because some of the book was slow and worth only 3 stars and other parts were heart wrenching both in a good way and then in a bad way causing me to rate it as five stars.

Sometimes the Virginia's lingo was awkward and hard to follow. It was slow reading at times and I wondered why some portion was even in the book. But, especially toward the end of the book it was outstanding writing and I have to admit I shedded some tears toward the end.
