This was a great book. One of the best western novels I have read. Language was moderate but not overly offensive. Some battle violence that could make some sensitive people squeamish. VERY LONG... had to take a break and read a couple other books before returning to finish this. But was glad I did. recommend to the western reader. recommend for book clubs.
Great way relax ... cuddle up with a favorite blanket and with such an exciting read. This story is a major page turner! So easy to visualize all the characters and events as the story progresses.

I love this book, I have already read it but I decided that I wanted it in hard cover. I actually got the entire series, which brings me to the only thing bothers me a little. The actual "Lonesome Dove" is smaller than the other three books in the series and it bugs me. I realize that this is my nerotic behavior but.... The book is in excellent condition and I'm so excited to have it because it will be around forever and I will be able to one day pass it along to my family. As for the book/story itself: It's great! I love historical fiction and this book fits the bill perfectly. McMurtry does a great job writing the characters and making the story work independently. I understand that he did such a great job that the public wanted more but if you don't have the time to read all four books, read Lonesome Dove and it's all you need. I feel that it's a must have for any collection.Read full review
One of the great modern novels. One of the best, most engrossing novels I have ever read.
