Cowboy Mafia

I simply loved this book because I've met a lot of the people that are in it......and I am a relative of the lawyer that represented some of them. Have been so upset because I loaned it out and have forgotten who I loaned it to. ALSO I know the members of the Cowboy Mafia band ......really interesting read.

I don't mind the writing at all, having an unpolished story told by one who was there adds depth and personality. It was hard to put down, I finished in a few days. Like another reviewer said , I want to know more...

This is a compelling story presented very poorly. The author is actually a decent storyteller but his book obviously never saw a proofreader or editor's desk. The reviewers' comments regarding this are not exaggerated. Graham's conclusions regarding his friend, boss and mentor seem to coincide with his inability to see the many errors in the book he is selling us. Characters like Rex Cauble, (I tend to believe he was guilty) are typically incredibly duplicitious especially to those closest to them. I doubt any author/resesrcher will ever write/uncover what I supect is the whole story. There are lingering questions... Is it not strange how the Texas Ranger who was looking into Cauble was shot/killed in a botched drug raid near Cauble's ranch? What about Rex's involvement with various government and law enforcement officials with their own rumored scandals involving narcotics? Could what Gary Webb's journalistic work uncovered regarding drugs and the CIA be tied in? John Connally was a character witness? Really? What did people in prison with Rex have to say about him? Too many people involved in drug trafficking during this period were seemingly untouchable. Some apparently worked with a great deal of CIA protection. Perhaps Rex wasn't because of the sizeable high dollar assets he possessed?

Good read keeps your interest throughout !

This was a very good read, to the point and true in its content. What an adventure these outlaws had. A movie should be made.

good book

A good read

I had been wanting to read this book for a long time since I knew Mr. Cauble personally. I actually thought it was going to be more about Rex. But I was wrong, it was Muscles' story, which seem to drag on and on with a lot of facts left out. I was really disappointed in the amateurish writing. The run on sentences, grammatical errors and skipping around were all very distracting. Why Graham didn't invest in an editor or at least someone to just proof read his story, still puzzles me. BTW, Mr. Cauble was a very sweet man with a big heart......and really loved his horses!
