## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A western book with Black characters
  

*by T***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 1, 2023*

I picked Percival Everett's God's Country from Amazon solely based on the book description. I began reading western cowboy books and sought one written by a Black author. Everett effectively portrays a time period that coincided with the frontier and the abolition of slavery. Despite the time period in which it was based, he does an excellent job of portraying the Black characters in a positive light. It is easy to read and worth reading.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A modern take on the classic Western
  

*by P***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 2, 2022*

Highly recommended. This is story-telling at the highest level. The first-person voice grabs you immediately, like True Grit. You jump right into the story. The pace of events is swift. There is an ingenious inter-locking of the characters’ stories. Both black and Indian characters are given plenty of stage time.The white narrator and almost all of the other white characters are blatantly racist. The N-word is used freely. It is clear that the racism is being portrayed, not endorsed.The author is skillful in inventing baroque Classic Western similes. They are witty and funny, part lampoon and part homage.There is plenty of wish-fulfillment. This is not a historical novel. The author changes history like Quentin Tarantino in his movies. General Custer is shown as a vain, cross-dressing dim-wit. The narrator makes comedy out of tragedy.The heart of the novel is the story of a heroic black man who is always the smartest, most capable person in the room. The narrator ends up almost having a crush on him. This sounds trite, but the author makes it work.The ending is a let-down, with the allegorical aspect overwhelming everything. But that is only three pages at the end. Don’t let that stop you from buying God’s Country. It tells a unique story and there is much to like.

    Promising first half
  

*by G***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 21, 2021*

I'll keep this short since I read this months ago. The book has a great start. In fact the first chapter is stellar, as good as a Zane Grey novel first chapter. The book makes some good observations of racial prejudice and downright hatred in the west in the nineteenth century, but the plot seems to meander about halfway through, as if the writer was never sure of where he was going in the first place. Maybe the author was aiming for something like absurd realism, but I found the book merely unrealistic. I did finish the book, so I have to add that it had enough of a story to keep me interested in finding out what happens at the end. Better than average.
