"Absolutley terrific "

"Without hesitation, I claim Lonesome Dove as the best book I have ever read. The character development is beyond anything I have ever read in my 40yrs of being a book nerd. I am usually daunted by books of this size, but this was one I found myself slowing down to savor, for fear that it would be over before I was willing to part with the characters. "

"This is probably one of the top five books I’ve ever read, alongside East of Eden and The Handmaid’s Tale. The characters are so well written that you immediately understand them and want to follow their journeys. Even the minor characters, who appear only briefly, are interesting and memorable.<br/><br/>The novel features a vast cast woven into an epic format, yet each character is intricately linked while still standing on their own. The dialogue is poignant, compelling, and unlike any other—philosophical, nostalgic, and heart-wrenching. A masterpiece. 5 Stars."

"I've explored various storytelling genres in search of my favorite, and if all westerns are as well-written as "Lonesome Dove," then westerns are definitely my genre of choice. This might be the best story I've ever read. Each time I picked it up, I felt as if I was transported from my living room to the wild plains of early America. No other book has ignited my imagination quite like this one. It deserves every accolade and award it has received. Truly a masterpiece."

"Really gives you a look into life when America was still forming. A bit of everything, Rangers, Cowboys, Native Americans, women, and African Americans. It wasn’t fair but it was how it was. "

"I don't typically read westerns so I wasn't really sure what I was getting into here, but this book exceeded all of my expectations. If you are a fan of out-and-out amazing storytelling then don't let the genre or intimidating length stop you from picking this up. It's completely worth it. "
