Tremendous books. Very compelling, especially the last two books of the trilogy, Lonesome Dove and Streets of Laredo. The characters are vivid and are easy to sympathize with as they complete their adventures in the old west. A must for just about anyone.
One of the most compelling series I've ever read. My illusions about cowboys have been dispelled and replaced with respect and empathy. These are the only 'cowboy and indian' novels I've ever read.
Modern classics. McMurtry is a genius. The authenticity of living in those distant times are brilliantly realised. But I come from East London, so what do I know?
Anyone who believes they are not interested in Cowboy stories or American history should read these books. Lonesome Dove even won the Pulitzer in 1985.
Read these again this summer everytime I read these I see something new This series
Belongs on every ones shelf

This is the ultimate Western. I consider it a must-read for anyone who claims to be well-read.
I came to Larry McMurtry through via the TV series. Masterly books, masterly characters.

Engrossing read...action, and humor.
Awesome west story telling.
Best.Western.Ever
Larry McMurty's epic saga is a magnificent window into the old west.
Hands down one of the best series of novels I've ever read. I devoured these books and cherish them, primarily because of their portrayal of my homeland.
Why I love Larry McMurtry!
