Read from December 25, 2010 to July 21, 2011
Great characterization. Good pacing. Once you get some momentum, the length ceases to be daunting. The "love story" aspect didn't irk me like I expected. The fact that I've seen the mini-series only helped to enhance the read. Best western I've read. I feel like I ought to apologize to the ghost of Louis L'amour, who has been my go-to western author since I started reading books without pictures, but it's true - best western I've read.

I'm just barely getting into it, so I can't really say. I enjoyed the mini-series though, so I can't imagine not liking it.
