Buffalo Girls Audiobook

" too much of the author in this one, though Martha Jane was extremely charming. "

" good book about the wild west and the colorful characters who made the west "

" I love McMurtry's language, but this elegy for the Wild West can make you feel blue. "

" Clamity Jane is the narrator of this book. For anyone that likes the show DEADWOOD, especially women, I think you would like this book. "

" This book brought the west to life in it's rich and funny characters. A great read. "

" Interesting biography of a interesting woman....Jane had a very sad and difficult life, yet amazing perseverance and strength. "

" True to form, Larry McMurtry has written another book I call a favorite! Calamity Jane, Dora DuFran, Buffalo Bill and the entire cast were brought to life by the author's unparalleled ability to to develop his characters. I laughed and I cried. I was entertained and look forward to reading it again another time. I just couldn't get enough of it! McMurtry leads the reader to see the west in a new and different way from it's portrayal in the old westerns on TV and it is such a delight! "

" Wonderful characters, and mesmerized by Betty Buckley's reading of it. Could not imagine why McMurtry almost ruined it on the last page with an ending that didn't add anything to the beauty of the story, and was so demeaning to Calamity Jane. "

" Still has a lot of humor that his other books have, but a little more depressing and sad. "

" I love westerns, and while this one has a twist near the end that almost unhinged it for me, I enjoyed it a lot. "

" This conjures up a flavor of the old wild west, right about the time old-timers were saying it wasn't so wild anymore. Calamity Jane figures in heavily, and McMurtry uses her letters to her daughter to provide exposition and move the story along. I'm enjoyed it, though it's really light reading. "

" Not a huge Larry McMurty fan. "

" I liked it. It's a McMurtry novel. "

" I wanted it to be better, and I kept hoping until the end. It did answer questions, so I wasn't left without closure - mostly, but it was a lot slower than I wanted it to be. "

" Interesting. Took a while to get into, but enjoyed it. Really depressing ending, though. "

" This is one of my favorite books by Larry McMurtry. I've read most of his novels, but this one really stood out to me. "

" At first I didn't think this book was special, but my opinion began changing with each new page. As the characters in the story age and fade like the wild west, I formed a connection with the characters and I felt their longing for the glory of a bye-gone era. "

" Required reading for a college history course. Never liked being told what to read... "

" It's seem like an outline of historical characters, this book was full of sorrow, misery, and drunkenness, but unlike Lonesome Dove, there was no tension or drama to keep you attached to any of the characters. "

" This book starts slowly but it does deliver in the second half. A fun summer read with many sad parts. It's almost like he wrote it for the movie. "

" calamity Jane is great in this book.her love for wild bill ..awesome story "

" I enjoy reading a well written western. This book was not one of them. Character development seemed laborious and dull and the story lacked good continuity. A far cry from Lonesome Dove. "

" McMurtry has the best character development and most entertaining dialog. You can't help but love the characters and feel like you know them. "

" Reading this with the Rathdrum Library Book club. "

" I love McMurtry's western fiction, though this one was not my favorite. It was enjoyable though. "

" This is one of my favorite Larry McMurtry novels. "

" I love this book! I picked it up on a whim, with no expectations whatsoever, and I adored it. It made me laugh out loud several times, and almost cry at others. I would not say I am typically a fan of westerns, either, but reading this book was so enjoyable that I should probably find more McMurtry. "

" I love McMurtry's language, but this elegy for the Wild West can make you feel blue. "

" I wish I could remember this better, the only McMurtry I've read. I love westerns and I love westerns with a feminine angle, and I recall this being a lovely book - not much else I'm afraid. "

" This is one of my favorite Larry McMurtry novels. "

" It's been years since I read this - I was in high school at the time - so I don't remember that much about it. Just that I loved it. If I can find my copy, I'll reread it and see if I still feel the same. "

" Required reading for a college history course. Never liked being told what to read... "

" doesn't quite hit the intensity of lonesome dove, however buffalo girls is an entertaining read for sure. i'm not sure if i liked the plot or if i just love western history... "

" good book about the wild west and the colorful characters who made the west "

" I had thison my shelf for years before I finally got around to reading it. A great true adventure story. "

" I was disappointed in this book. It was a good, adventurous read most of the way through. But in the end ... I threw it across the room. "

" At first I didn't think this book was special, but my opinion began changing with each new page. As the characters in the story age and fade like the wild west, I formed a connection with the characters and I felt their longing for the glory of a bye-gone era. "

" I liked it. It's a McMurtry novel. "

" I love westerns, and while this one has a twist near the end that almost unhinged it for me, I enjoyed it a lot. "
