Helpful Score: 1


Of McMurtry's many outstanding literary achievements, "Lonesome Dove" has to stand at the top. (LD was a Pulitzer Prize winner.) Rare is the story that can blend period authenticity with fictional characters and provide a larger-than-life tale that encompasses the old West so perfectly. You'll laugh, you'll cry - you'll even fall in love with the villains! A once in a lifetime read - not to be missed!
