Lonesome Dove

Years ago I watched this mini-series and always meant to read the book. I think I owned the book at least different times. The book starts very slow as McMurtry is really developing the characters who will be the focal point of the entire novel.
As the book is over 800 pages I was not sure I was up to the challenge. I struggled through the beginning as I knew the story was going to improve.
Now that I have completed it I have a new appreciation for Lonesome Dove. When you read a book there is so much a production could do.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants not only an adventure book but also a story of love, a story of hope, a story of loss. The drive itself is a journey to try and reclaim youth.
Just fantastic
