Mantas answers “Is there any Western better than this one?...”

Alex Leaf asked this question about Lonesome Dove (Lonesome Dove, #1):

Is there any Western better than this one? I think it may have ruined the genre for me.

Mantas Nothing even comes close to Lonesome Dove.. - that's what I thought until today; I've just finished reading The Cowboy and The Cossack by Clair Huffak…moreNothing even comes close to Lonesome Dove.. - that's what I thought until today; I've just finished reading The Cowboy and The Cossack by Clair Huffaker, and I felt like sharing this with LD fans.

Adventure, loyalty, friendship, humor, deadly battles with enemies as well as nature - if you loved all these things in LD, you will love The Cowboy and The Cossack too. It has a lot of similarities but enough differences so it still feels like a unique story.

LD had been my #1 book of all time; today I have to put it on my #2 spot and give the top for The Cowboy and The Cossack. I'm sure many would disagree with me, and it also could be because I've just finished reading it and my emotions are still steaming hot, but I feel that those emotions were stirred slightly deeper when reading The Cowboy and The Cossack. I already miss all those characters from that book just like I missed Gus and Call from LD.(less)
