I knew this was a legendary book before reading it & I was fairly overwhelmed by it's heft but, I dove in headfirst & plowed through it & I wanted more when it was over. What a story! If this isn't the greatest American novel ever written, it will make do until I figure out which one is. Mcmurtry's prose is phenomenal & his cast of characters are diverse and each unique in their own way. I definitely plan on reading the rest of this series at some point. This is classic Americana & Western Adventure at it's finest!
