Review: The only capital offense is this book...

Overwrought and under-thought, this thing reads like an overheated brain dump after a few too many beers.  Opens at three-stars but quickly devolves into incoherent and muddled tale that seriously requires a white board and markers to keep the characters straight, for it appears that most of the characters are blood relatives or adopted orphans or Moses in the bullrushes.This thing could not have been edited, and while the author may trade on his knowledge of Texas, he's clueless and careless e.g. writes that UT stadium (capacity 100,000) has 50,000 people for the UT/A&M; game and a few pages later alludes to the 30,000 people watching him nearly plunge to his death as he leaps from a helicopter to a blimp.  He has cardboard cutouts for characters that are intended to elicit sympathy - never mind empathy.Go ahead but if you pay more than 99 cents...
