I honestly didn’t intent to ever read this book, and i had bought it because i needed to spend a couple extra dollars to get free shipping(literally always something i do)
but i was very pleasantly surprised. I adore the movie and i’ve watched it multiple times, and reading the book was just like watching the movie, except speeding through it at full speed. 
I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is interested in the topic

This is a beautifully written short story about two cowboys in Wyoming. If you watched the film, it stuck very closely to the original short story. Quotes from the film are taken directly from the book. Definitely a great quick read if you loved the film.
