An incredible journey. A great book covering life and philosophy during a cattle drive. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a good read. I wish more people read books. They don't know what they're missing!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lonesome Dove tapes - a great story but horrible tapes!
Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2001
Verified Purchase
Being a big fan of this book, I was looking forward to enjoying the book on tape edition during a long drive with my brother, who had never read the book or seen the mini series. Things went well at first and the miles flew by but when we started book two chapter one and turned to the second side of the tape the wrong side from book one was repeated which ruined the experience. When I got home I exchanged the tapes and the new tapes had the same error. I exchanged them again and again the mistake was repeated. This is a great book and the greatest mini series I have ever seen so the disappointment in I feel for the poor job done on these tapes can hardly be expressed. I had my money refunded finally but I wish I had the book on tape without errors.

5.0 out of 5 stars A magnificent novel -- and fantastically well read
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 1998

You can consult other reviewers of the novel for assessments of its tremendous power to move readers. I agree with these enthusiastic readers -- it is a wonderful book.
Astonishingly, this audio performance is equal to the novel. Lee Horsley (an actor I have not heard of) has an extraordinary ability to create living, talking, breathing (and consistent!) characters out of McMurtry's splendid prose. Much of the narration consists of internal monologue and conversation, and Horsley puts real life into the characters.
I have listened to dozens of books read. This performance is, without doubt, the best I have yet heard.

5.0 out of 5 stars No doubt one of the finest novels ever written............
Reviewed in the United States on October 16, 1999
No doubt one of the finest novels ever written, Lonesome Dove is great reading in every sense. I was hooked from the beginning. This is the kind of novel that causes the reader to become involved with the characters in such a way that they seem real. Fine heros, terrible outlaws, this book has plenty of both and not to be overlooked is the tenderness of the story. The audio version of Lonesome Dove, as read by Lee Horseley , has to be one of the best ever. I have read and listened to this book and strongly recommend both versions.
