However, I was a bit disappointed at finding Woodrow Call a broken man. I would have much preferred, even if naive, to have let him remain the strong, undaunting hero of the previous books. Without Gus with which to interact, the book seemed a bit flat, but still a good read. (  ) silva_44 | Oct 18, 2008 |  This is Larry McMurtry's follow-up to his wonderful book, Lonesome Dove. This book is much slower to get started than the first, and not as satisfying in the end. A good book for a week at the beach, though, which it was for me. ( ) co_coyote | Jul 4, 2008 | Missed Gus terribly. (  ) kaledrina | Jun 26, 2008 | Highly recommended. ( ) writestuff | Jan 20, 2007 | Very grim, violent book. Sequel to Lonesome Dove. Lacks humor of that book. (  ) bookheaven | Jul 18, 2006 |  no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0671792814, Hardcover)In the long-awaited sequel to Lonesome Dove, Larry McMurtry spins an exhilarating tale of legend and heroism. Captain Woodrow Call, Augustus McCrae's old partner, is now a bounty hunter hired to track down a brutal, young Mexican bandit. Riding with Call are an Eastern city slicker, a witless deputy, and one of the last members of the Hat Creek outfit, Pea Eye Parker, now married to Lorena -- once Gus McCrae's sweetheart. Their long chase leads them across the last wild stretches of the West into a hellhole known as Crow Town, and finally, into the vast, relentless plains of the Texas frontier.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:17 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
