Lordy... I kind of regret reading Lonesome Dove first because I don’t think anything will ever top that book. This was definitely a great story and I love seeing my favorite cowboys so young. Can’t wait to read the next installment
This was the weakest of the series so far but it was still a good book. It was great to see Call and Gus when they were green and fumbling and it was great to see Gus meet Clara. Still, it didn't have the colorful characters that I loved so much in [b:Lonesome Dove|256008|Lonesome Dove|Larry McMurtry|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1378573063s/256008.jpg|3281465] and [b:Streets of Laredo|54812|Streets of Laredo|Larry McMurtry|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1371294481s/54812.jpg|53419]. I was actually wondering if he wrote most of this as a background before he even wrote Lonesome Dove just because it was so much less entertaining.
Szlak Umrzyka" to klasyka literackiego westernu otwierająca tetralogię autora o Dzikim Zachodzie, wydana jako trzecia część serii jest tak po prawdzie pierwszą jeśli chodzi o chronologię wydarzeń i może być traktowana jako prequel do nagrodzonego Plitzerem "Na południe od Brazos". Przedstawione tu wydarzenia opowiadają genezę przyjaźni znanych już z poprzednich tomów dwójki bohaterów , Augustusa McCrae i Woodrowa Calla, oraz jak ten pierwszy odnalazł miłość swojego życia, a drugi – matkę swego jedynego syna. Opowieść o początkach przyjaźni Gusa i Calla dostarcza czytelnikowi intensywnych emocji, oraz przenosi go na okrutne Dzikiego Zachodu tereny, na których jest czasem i śmieszno i straszno a wisielczy humor przewija się przez każdy, kolejny rozdział. Są strzelaniny, pościgi i sceny ociekające makabrą ale też prześwietne sceny humorystyczne w których wcale nie tak trudno parsknąć śmiechem.

The Old West, in all its gritty and violent reality. Aptly named--it's mostly people walking through the desert, and many of them die. But it's escapism at its best, sorely needed right now.
