APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
This exhilarating, Pulitzer Prize–winning novel brings the last days of American frontier society to life. Restless former Texas Rangers Augustus McCrae and Woodrow Call decide to move their livery operation from southern Texas to Montana. Driving their cattle north through unsettled country, the duo and their cowboys are beset by Native Americans, bandits, and bad fortune. Larry McMurtry excels at wringing humor and insight from desperate circumstances—Lonesome Dove brims with adventure and moving moments.
Customer Reviews
Epic
The Author spoils most of the book at the beginning of this version so maybe skip it before you start. Even so this book was one of the best books I have ever read.
Lonesome Dove
This book was very long! But I really enjoyed it. The characters are well developed. One mans’ stubbornness and inability to show emotion changes to life of many men
Classic
What can I say. Just read it. Time well spent.
