This is an incredibly written western tale which I have been meaning to read for years. My soon to be 90 year-old father, my life-time hero, has long mentioned that Lonesome Dove was his favorite book of all-time and now, without exception, it has also become mine. Thank-you Dad for revealing the incredible depths of this story, a journey, detailing the simple importance found in normal everyday relationships. For, as Dad’s memory slowly deteriorates from the effects of vascular dementia, this mesmerizing story, page by page, chapter by chapter, has kept me close to my Dad, which is what I hoped for when the purchase was made three months ago. I realized his eyes touched the same words, lines, and chapters. I will be eternally grateful for having had an opportunity to share my reflections of Lonesome Dove with Dad. Thank-you Larry McMurtry. I cannot recommend this book more highly this summer or anytime. Deserving of ten stars, you will not be disappointed. Be sure to share this instant classic with someone you love…..
