![]() Especially with Buffalo Hump and Kicking Wolf I thought. Maybe it's because this is the final book McMurtry said he is going to write in the LD saga but that tone of finality is there. This book wasn't as humorous as parts of LD and Walk as it had a more somber tone and much more death than the other two. Moon was next in the series and I thought it perfectly showed how Gus and Call become the men in Lonesome Dove. I immediatley ran out and got Moon and Laredo. After reading that I found out there were a couple of more books in the Lonesome Dove series, Streets of Laredo and Comanche Moon. I also laughed out loud several times at the antics of Gus and I really loved that Mr. It brought me right back to the world of LD. While Dead Man's Walk was not as good as LD, I still though it deserved five stars. I remembered laughing, crying and sitting there awestruck at how good a book it was. ![]() I bought it because I remembered how much I loved Lonesome Dove. Since then I haven't really read many westerns and have stayed primarily in the sci-fi\fantasy genre, but at the book store a couple weeks back I picked up Dead Man's Walk, the first story of Gus and Call. First I read Lonesome Dove about ten years ago. ![]() His discription of life in Texas in the mid 1800's is so descriptive, I can close my eyes and envision the places he writes about. ![]() It's because of this series that the western genre has become so exciting for me to read. I think McMurtry's Lonesome Dove books are hands down the best western books out there today. ![]()
