A love story, an adventure, and an epic of the frontier, Larry McMurtry’s Pulitzer Prize-winning classic, Lonesome Dove, the third book in the Lonesome Dove tetralogy, is the grandest novel ever written about the last defiant wilderness of America.

Journey to the dusty little Texas town of Lonesome Dove and meet an unforgettable assortment of heroes and outlaws, whores and ladies, Indians and settlers. Richly authentic, beautifully written, always dramatic, Lonesome Dove is a book to make us laugh, weep, dream, and remember.

Lonesome Dove is good if you like tragic westerns. The events are mostly realistic and grim but the people and prose lend a poetry to it. Kavalier and Klay is a fun story about the birth of the Comics industry

My dad and I read Lonesome Dove together last year. Would never have picked it myself. Loved it so so so much.

Lonesome Dove is an 800 page book about cowboys on a cattle drive and it's the greatest thing I've ever read
