At Night She Cries, While He Rides His Steed

I'd recommend the hardback edition, since it contains really excellent illustrations and cover art that are worth experiencing in person. I first heard about this book when I read an interview in Vice Magazine with author Ross Patterson. He claimed that the novel harkens back to a time when men were men, and that we can learn a thing or two from the ways of our forefathers. I decided to pick it up and see what sort of valuable insights it might contain. What I got was an action fest of sex and gore, with a surprising amount of narrative depth and humor thrown in for good measure. The novel takes place in the mid-1800s and follows Saint James Street James on a roller coaster of fortunes. From being the richest, most badass guy in town to the most down-and-out, St. James takes it all in his manly stride. At first I was worried that the novel would be an unapologetic, Tucker Max-esque douche parade, but St. James' narration evolves with surprising depth. He gives us insight into not only his awesomeness, but also his weaknesses (few and stereotypically masculine as they are). The book is legitimately hilarious at times, mixing situational humor and modern pop-culture references evenly. The sex is graphic, but not overwrought. It's a fun and easy read that will keep the pages turning for the sake of the story just as much as the laughs. I'm not sure how much modern men can actually learn from At Night She Cries, While He Rides His Steed, but they'll definitely enjoy reading it.

There’s only one way to review this in a way that does it justice, and it’s with a story of why I need to order a second one. It all started when the book arrived in the mail, it was a calm day, sun shining bright over my small Florida town, a cool, refreshing breeze in the air. An old man yelling from his pickup as alpacas cross the street. My neighbor noticed the size of the package and asks if it’s a new book. What genre and what it’s about. She laments that she wishes her husband would be interested in stories such as this. In the distance you hear her husband let out a soft grunt as he stows his tools before going inside. Later that night I’m at the bar, I’m a bit of an introvert so I bring my book with me. Order my drinks and get to reading. An hour or so passes by before this woman approaches me, asks what book I’m reading, what it’s about, the whole thing. We talk for a few hours and end up going back to her place. She takes off her clothes and turns out the light, revealing the Bat Signal shining on her ceiling. “What is that?” I ask “Oh that’s just my night light” She then pulls me into the bed and- *another hour passes* I look up, and there’s a man standing over us, dressed as freaking Batman. “Give me the book”, he exclaimed Confused, honestly frightened, I hand over the book, put on my clothes and leave. And that’s why I’m ordering the book a second time.

A page turner as I couldn't help but laugh at 90 percent of this book. Worth the read and time.

This book has changed me. Not too long ago I was falling into depression lost in the world, no hope and no reason to continue. The moment I began pleasing my Eyes and Ears (yes, I own the audiobook too) with the beautiful words of Saint James Street James my entire existence has changed. In the pages of this true Red-Blooded Whiskey Drinking Meat Eating Gun Slinging Sexually Provocative American Treasure I found not only a man but a true idol to follow. I treat each and every word as if they came from a holy text, sent directly to me from a power that is much more than what a normal human male could ever produce. I've dropped 60lbs of fat and gained 40lbs back as pure muscle without ever leaving my reading chair, as well as doubling in size and density down in the "neathers." This is no book you're browsing, nor is it a way to pass the time. If you don't want you life to forever change, than this is not for you. But if you are ready, if you desire to become the person that you have always thought you could never be, then the first step is to buy the greatest piece of literature ever written and begin your journey.

I have been hearing about this book for a couple of months while listening to The Drinkin' Bros Podcast. I finally sacked up and ordered the greatest piece of literary work since the Magna Carta and I was not disappointed. I don't read books often as I am an active person who enjoys doing things and not sitting around so it's hard for me to enjoy a novel. I read this book in one day while sitting through my college classes. Who needs lectures when you have gold mines, shoot outs, opium dens and prostitutes? Did I forget to mention the best squirrel di there is? Needless to say this is incredibly entertaining and I am certain dome of my classmates will be buying the book as my ethics professor caught me and asked me to "read an excerpt from the text that is more important than that which the school has provided." The very next sentence was, ' you give these whores an inch, they want the other seven.'

I bought it because it's funny, but the writing is just okay. Good for a dirty laugh.

I will attempt to write an honest, unbiased review of this novel... here goes: This book was very well written. The imagery was clear, the characters were rich and the story was exactly as advertised. This book is not for wimps. Its a man's story, written in a man's way, about a man. And while the story might seem farfetched on the surface, the truth is, the era it takes place in was a violent & wild time. At Night She Cries is the ultimate alpha male fantasy novel. Every crazy ass "dude" dream is in it. The St. James St. James character is a classic, an original. I hope there will be other volumes that continue to flesh out this character's insane life. I would love to see how St. James handles prohibition and the gansters of the 20's & 30's Awesome!

A very funny book for Men.

So funny! Absolutely love this book! Just need to get the boyfriend to read it now haha

This is by far, the funniest book I've ever read. It is everything you could ever want in a romance novel for dudes, with an exceptionally over the top main character living the life everyone could ever dream of having, the writing made you feel like you had start picking the dirt out of your teeth and you could navigate through to the only important part of town. I was asked what I was reading by two of my pilots, and I got both to read a random page over the intercom, which sold the book for a few people on the flight and I know a few people that are getting copies for Christmas this year.
