A wonderful book. Until I got a copy of this book, I had read sporadically. Reading Lonesome Dove made me fall in love with reading and books in general. I cannot recommend it highly enough. On a side note, this is book one, despite the Google description. There is a sequel and two prequels. All are very good but none are a patch on the original.

I never expected it to be so funny. Of course many sections are gruelling and death is everywhere throughout this great novel, but you will laugh. It drags a little in Part 3, but really each chapter is like a short story in itself. If you like the first chapter then keep reading. You are in for quite a journey.
