Comanche Moon Audiobook

" I guess Comanche Moon wasn't THAT bad, but I was horribly disappointed because I love Lonesome Dove so much. The first half held my interest, but I struggled to finish (in fact, I took a break and read Catching Fire when I was about 2/3 through, which I never do). Gus and Call, two of my favorite literary characters of all time, seemed like 2-dimensional shells of themselves, and Clara and Maggie really added nothing. "

" Totally fun to read but the weakest of the Lonesome Dove foursome. "

" A prolific and talented author. "

" There's a lot more aimless wandering in this one, both by the characters and the author. This mostly exists to get all the pieces on the board for Lonesome Dove. Not bad but the weakest of the bunch. "

" I liked Lonesome Dove better. And I thought some of it was too crass and dirty. He is writing about rough characters, wild people, and Indian torture methods and I thought he still got too crass and a little too hard. Lonesome Dove has most of the same people, but they seem more developed and real, where in this book a few were pushed to the unrealistic side. "

" Is this the best of all the stories of Augustus and Woodrow? I think so, I admire Buffalo Hump and Kicking Wolf so much. I hate when I come to the end of McMurtry's wonderful stories! "

" I really ot into Lonesome Dove back in July of 09 I think after I first watched the series. I really liked Call for some reason, & of course Gus, Maggie, & everyone else. "

" Nice precurser to Lonesome Dove - tho the book does not really grab hold of me like LD did. This was a good read, & valuable for back story on several characters. "

" The best book in the Lonesome Dove series in my opinion. Brutal, funny and fascinating. The characters of Inish and Inez Skull are great additions to the whole series. Highly recommended. "

" prequel to lonesome dove - this one was very violent and, though a lot of the characters were the same, it just wasn't as compelling as Lonesome Dove. "

" More adventures with Augustus McRae and Woodrow Call as they fight Indians on the frontier. Fun stuff. "

" The best of the prequels/sequels to "Lonesome Dove." In Comanche Moon, Gus and Call are at the height of their powers... "

" Guy does the Old West real good in all of his tomes. "

" This is so worth the ending- one of the most creative endings ever. "

" This book gave me a look into real, dirty cowboys minds. They love to ride horses, kill indians, sleep under the stars and "couple" in whorehouses. On average they think about "coupling" every other page. They are dirty, dirty, boys, which is why I liked it so much! "

" Lonesome Dove was outstanding, so is Comanche Moon, which chronologically comes first. An immersion into a different time and place. "

" Larry McMurtry's "Lonesome Dove" is one of my all-time favorite books. This one is the prequel to it. I think it was almost every bit as good. "

" Just sat through the mini-series on TV and was told that the book is "even bloodier." So, I decided to read it and see! "

" This has been a great series to revisit. What a wonderful writer! "

" A little less cartoony than I remembered. Lonesome Dove series is epic in scope. Amazing. @PerryMissner "

" Very exciting and engaging reading. "

" This man is so erratic, but he's a writer who writes with authority about the great Western saga--and he has a sense of humor that's off the charts, but also hard to explain to my friends. "

" this is one of the most violent books i have read. those comanches could be mean..lol. "

" I really loved Lonesome Dove and I own a copy of the book and the DVD. Both have been reread and reviewed. I loved the characters that were created by Mr. McMurtry. Unfortunately, there's just no topping Lonesome Dove no matter how much you want it to be so. "

" Think I'm about done with Larry McMurty. Love him, but I've had enough of scalpings and other torturing techniques! "

" Another good read that holds your attention and takes you to another time. "

" Entertaining, but it doesn't really match up with Lonesome Dove. McMurtry should have been more consistent with his story lines. Still, it's worth the read and it will keep you flipping the pages. "

" McMurtry really tells a story that holds the reader. The characters are so well developed and belivable. The time period can be romantasized so easily, but all McMurtry's westerns keep it grounded. "

" Not quite as good as Lonesome Dove, but still a great book. "

" I'd recommend it to any Lonesome Dove fan, if for no other reason than to discovery how Blue Duck got his start. I also am not sure any writer can top McMurtry's villains, and Comanche Moon may have his fiercest villains of all. "

" didn't hold me. not enough Gus and Woodrow development and another story of weather, Indians, I'm sure hunger and thirst soon enough. too much 'here's the origin' of minor characters. bummed. "

" A fitting end to the series, even if it is out of chronological orderr. "

" Can't get enough of this author. "

" An excellent story told it w/insight and compassion. The further adventures of Woodrow and Gus always entertain and inform and bring a good dose of heartwarming humanity along w/equal amounts of heartbreak. "

" Fun read with the possible exception of vivid sexual behavior. "

" This is so worth the ending- one of the most creative endings ever. "
