I have read all of the prequels and sequels, but none of them touch this book. It is one of the best fiction books I have ever read” see full review » see other reviews » |
“Best Western Ever! Love Lonesome Dove!”

There are three different stories all in one and they are perfectly twined together. The characters have the most real life feel of any characters i have ever read about. Gus and his crew go for a trail drive up to wyoming to start a ranch. MAny happy and sad things happen on the way through the plains. it is a wonderful novel.”
