Glen Armstrong’s Reviews > Lonesome Dove > Status Update

End of Part 1 - this feels like a good place to take a short break and read something else as this is such a long book, but I just can't.

The characters in this book feel like people I've known my entire life. Or rather, I feel like I know versions of these characters in real life.

Lorena, "Lonsome Dove's only sporting woman," is one of the best written female characters I've encountered in any form of media.

I knew this was a famous book and all going in, but I honestly thought the near universal praise was likely just overhyping, as it often turns out to be.

So far, 120 pages in, I can comfortably say this is one of the best written books I've ever had the pleasure of reading.
