Plot Summary of Lonesome Dove:
A sweeping epic of the wild west centered around two Texas Rangers on a long cattle drive.
My Thoughts on Lonesome Dove:
I am not a fan of Westerns and did not even bother seeing the miniseries based on this book. My mother-in-law (who also doesn’t care about Westerns) said she loved it, so I gave it a shot and I agreed. Lonesome Dove has a great cast of characters, suspense, romance, and humor.
It’s on my Books for Guys and Time to Kill lists.
I’m sorry you didn’t develop a love for Westerns. They’re not all bad. Think of then as historical fiction. Our book club has decided to read Larry McMurtry’s The Last Picture Show. We all agree he’s good at creating memorable characters.
