memories

I checked this book out of the school library over ten times when I was in junior high. Now a mother of a very intelligent boy I have a hard time helping him find books that keep his attention. This book is it!! To all the kiddos who wrote a bad review on this one, judging your spelling and over all poor use of the English language, you need to KEEP READING!!!

Awsome Book a Must read!

I read this book back when i was in the 8th grade for our reading project. This was the last book we read for our unit of 4 books. and out of the ones that i read (then went out and bought) i loved cowboys dont cry the best. It's one of those books you cant put down and you must finish reading. All about a boy and his fathers realationships and what happens between them. alot of the things that happen in the book you would have never suspected...but i shouldn't give anythign away. This is an excellent youth book!

Cowboys Don't Cry

I thought this book was awesome!!! I am from the prairies, so I totally felt what Shane was feeling, and I felt as if I was watching everything from the sidelines. It was a really emotional book, and in some parts, it made me cry. But it was an awesome book. I would soooooo HIGHLY recomend it to anyone looking for a good western book to read!!

The Best Book I've ever read!

Cowboys Don't Cry is a very very good book! It shows many different emotions. The story was a real page turner. I am doing this book for a Novel Study in my class. When you read the book, you feel like you are the main character, in this book the main character is Shane. His dad has a serious drinking problem, his mom died in a car accident. Shane and his dad(Josh) are constantly moving because Josh is a champion bull rider, but because of his drinking problem Josh went from a champion bull rider to a rodeo clown. Read this book to find out how Shane copes with this situation and what happens to Josh! (I highly recommend this book to readers of all ages!)

This is the best book I've ever read!

Highly readable, very emotional, teaches a very valuable lesson. Every young adult should have to read this book. I've read it over 6 times.
