Query: Poorly written, painful to read as a result

The author attempts to romanticize the lives of the Rouse family, who came across as an extremely dysfunctional group. My take is that they were, at best, irrational cowboys, taking ill advised risks and were completely irresponsible, in all aspects of their lives. They were, in the end, tragically victims of their own poor judgement and behavior (as where many of the people talked about in the book). The author should have titled this book after himself, as this seems to be his favorite topic, to the detriment of the story. From his poor writing style, composition, leaving out information which would have made the story much more interesting, and to his repeating the same information over and over again, this book was difficult to enjoy. The author took a compelling event, and ruined the story.
