Good, but......

I found this book to be interesting, but bland. I am very familiar with Texas and the rest of the Southwestern US, and I found the detail in the author's description very good, but i did not like the fact that he doesn't dwell into the characters deepluy enough. All conversations and plots seem to be pointless an meaningless. Everyone is just to Blase about everyting and everyone. This is the last book in the lonesome dove series, and frankly, I think this is the last one of the author's books I wll ever purchase again.

An excellent saga of the old west.

Frank Muller's presentation of Larry McMurtry's Comanche Moon was outstanding. McMurtry introduces us to additional unforgettable characters like Inish and Inez Scull. Comanche Moon further develops the characters we already knew - Call, McCrae, Buffalo Hump, Blue Duck and all the others. Muller is the best audio presenter I have ever listened to.

I hope this is not the last of the story of Woodrow Call and Gus McCrae. There is a space ofe time between the end of Comanche Moon and the beginning of Lonsome Dove.

Please Larry give us some more.

Second Best In Series-Next To Lonesome Dove

"Comanche Moon" is the second best of the four books in this series, next to "Lonesome Dove", but McMurtry tries too hard to connect all the dots, espeecially in the last 200 pages.

The chapters dealing with the Indians are the best in the book, with the exception of Blue Duck's adolescence.

Maybe McMurtry should have let "Lonesome Dove" stand as a solitary achievement. While I enjoyed reading more about the characters in "Comanche Moon", each of the succeeding books in the series seem to lessen the power of "Lonesome Dove" as a novel, making it just the best in the series of a set of otherwise average novels.
