Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
5.0
adventurous emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This is the first book that's ever made me cry, and more than once at that. I've never become so attached to characters in literature before. McMurtry really is a genius of characterisation and span me through every conceivable emotion along the way, I'll definitely be revisiting it again and again. An instant favourite!!
