    "Brings the West alive."

    Great story that pieces together so many of the legends of the West. And Annie Pots reading makes it even more special. She was perfect for this book! Sorry the time went by so quick.

    "Where's the plot"

    Annie Potts is a very good reader. I love Lonesome Dove. But i must say this is weak. There is no plot and just ambling around the old west meeting every famous person. Nothing really happens. I suppose it may be enough to have penned Lonesome Dove, one of my all time favorite books but if you're not going to try to wright something close to that PLEASE STOP.

    "Larry McMurty once again does it the best!"
    If you could sum up Telegraph Days in three words, what would they be?

    Insightful, thought provoking and exciting


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    I loved Nellie. I love Annie Potts so my minds eye saw the physical Annie Potts and the inspiration of Nellie Cartright.

    "telegraph days"

    This isn't my normal genre, but it was a nice break. Good characters, and loved Annie Potts as narrator. I liked this.

    "Good but raunchy"

    This book is written more as a narrative-diary than a typical plot-driven novel. It is fun to listen to, but quite raunchy, lots of crude sexual references, but not pornographic.

    "Female Gus McCrae"

    I'm a big fan of the lonesome dove series and looked forward to this story as another saga by Larry McMurtry. I guess I have a tendency to measure all of his novels by that standard which leaves me lacking for more. having said that, this was a fun story and the narrator does a great job of telling the story and bringing the characters to life.

    Its not lonesome dove, but well worth the effort.

    "Annie Potts is the star"

    This is a very fun book to listen to. Annie Potts is responsible. She reads the story about an independent woman whose life intersects with some famous characters of her time, including, among others, Wild Bill Hickok and Wyatt Earp and his brothers.
