The lonely wild west book review

The other day, I was talking to an acquaintance at the nearby local coffee shop. They were reading a book, and they stopped to look out the window, and we started the niceties, “good weather”, etc. I asked if that was a good book and they picked it up and said; “Okay, but I like westerns, I thought I’d try this, but if it doesn’t get better soon, I’m going to throw it away,” and then they asked me if I knew of any good westerns. “Yes, indeed I do,” so I made a suggestion. Let’s talk, because maybe you would like to know about it too.

One of the best Western books I’ve ever read, and one that I highly recommend to you, it’s a long read, almost a week in your spare time, and very worthy of your attention, it’s a lot like reading Gone With the Wind, so you might To think that its 850+ pages make it a real butt-flatterer, you’d be wrong to judge it as such. This is a book that I own and sits on my bookshelf as proof of my love of history and our western cultural ancestry in the US. The name of the book is:

“Lonesome Dove: A Novel” by Larry McMurtry, Simon and Schuster Publishers, New York, NY, 2010, 864 pages, ISBN: 978-1439195260.

Just like Gone with the Wind, you could classify this as a love story, so not only do you share the length, but you might like that angle as well. Of course, it’s also an adventure that takes place in the untamed landscape of the frontier of time. This book is often considered a western classic and is well labeled as such. This is a book in a series, and the name of the book is also the name of a small town, if it can be called that by today’s standards, where the story takes place. It is dusty, windy and harsh, a place where the weak will not survive well.

This old western city has all the proper hallmarks of a western setting; the tavern, the prostitutes, the rustlers, the ranchers, the settlers, the Indians, the criminal elements, and the sheriff. There is drama, passion, intrigue, honor and crime. As conflicts arise and things get complicated, you begin to understand the way of life in this version of the Wild West, along with a good history lesson as you go, but you have to wait to see how it all plays out in later books. . , which you will want to read after finishing this one. Please consider all this and think about it.
