A review by ryleeesmithh
Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry

5.0

beautifully written novel that i got about halfway through with the audiobook until i picked up a copy. took me a while to finish it but i am so glad i persevered. i love character driven novels and this books has such a wide range of characters and the writing flows so nicely from one perspective to the other that it’s hard to put it down. and god how i love a morally gray, realistic, verging on pessimistic, portrayal of the hardships that come and go in life. it was a grief ridden and death stricken time to be alive in the wild west. it surely is about the journey, and not the destination.

“it’s a fine world, though rich in hardships at times”
