Richly authentic, beautifully written, and always dramatic, Lonesome Dove is a book to make us laugh, weep, dream, and remember.

"... the book has a great many scenes in which nothing happens except that people talk -- and they talk so well you never want them to stop. This is a rare thing in westerns. It is rare even in the novels of Larry McMurtry. He has, of course, been a gifted writer of dialogue right along -- way back since Horseman, Pass By in 1961... The book is 800 pages long; I would gladly have listened to any of the three for another 800 pages." - Noel Perrin, The Washington Post
