    "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.

    "Great story, great reader"

    Annie Potts does an outstanding job as the reader for this book. I wish she would do more. Also, a good story.

    "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.

    Story
    "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.

    "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.

    "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.

    "Excellent performance"

    This is a ridiculous story. Marie Antoinette "Nellie" Courtright is a beauty courted by George Custer, Bill Hickock and two Earp brothers, in addition to a host of non-famous beaus. She works for Buffalo Bill Cody, gets the best of Jesse James, meets Billy the Kid and General Sherman, and witnesses the gunfight at the OK Corral.

    I enjoyed this because it's funny, and Annie Potts' narration is perfection. She made me want to keep listening. It would be a quick read on paper, but it's so much better, and time well spent, on audio.

    "Good Story and Performance"
    Would you try another book from Larry McMurtry and/or Annie Potts?

    Yes


    What do you think your next listen will be?

    ??? - I'm sure something from Mcmurtry, Puzo, or Stephen King


    What about Annie Potts’s performance did you like?

    I soon forgot it was Annie Potts reading and simply felt the charactor thru her performance.


    Do you think Telegraph Days needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

    No


    Any additional comments?

    No
