Lonesome Dove by Larry McMurtry
4.0

Overall I enjoyed this book. The depth of characters of the core Hat Creek outfit (Call, Gus, Deets, Newt) was so intricate and well done. I never expected to care this much about a group of cowboys. That being said, I thought the other characters, especially the women, really lacked depth which was jarring in comparison. I almost DNF due to some of the violence against women where the descriptions just kept going on and on. Glad I read it, not sure I’d recommend it to others.
